Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 3.09
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
During the Danish Risk assessment review a number of results for the octanol/water partition coefficient were considered.
According to US-EPA (1996) the log Kow was stated to be 2.78 but without specifying the test method. Hansch et al. (1995) found an experimental value of 2.63 and QSAR calculations carried out by Knowwin, Syracuse 1995; ClogP) estimated the log Kow to be 2.70 and 3.13.
The result reported as 'key' information in this dossier (BASF 1994) was determined according to guideline OECD 107 with the method specified. This data was considered to be the most reliable in the peer reviewed Danish Risk assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
