Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

To the best of our ability , we stimate that the solubility in water is at least a thousand time that of the solubility in oil, suggesting that the value of Log Pow will be less than -3.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-3
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The molecule is relatively insoluble in oil and very readily soluble in water an is a surfactant.

Attemps to measure the partition coefficient directly have proved to be unsuccessful. To the best of our ability , we estimate that the solubility in water is at least a thousand time that of the solubility in oil, suggesting that the value of Log Pow will be less than -3.

Estimated partition coefficients expressed as Log Pow for modified Alkyl Polyglucoside are reported in NICNAS Full public report STD/1186 are in the folowing range:

Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water) log Pow = -1.40 to -5.62 for shortest carbon chain with one

or two glucosides.

log Pow = -2.68 to 1.54 for longest carbon chain with one or two glucosides.

As expected , the higher molecular weight variants are more soluble in the oil phase and have higher Logkow values.

Suga Nate 160 , with a C12 fatty alcohol fraction and a short chain sulphonate designed to increase the water solubility is likely to have a lower octanol/water partition coefficient.

This means tha Suga Nate 160 should show less tendency to bioaccumulate in the environment than substances such a sulphonates (and lauryl sulphates and ether sulphates ) , and it is deisgned to replace them.
