Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
In the Klimisch 1 GLP study from Fischer (2002) the partition coefficient of Chloroacetamide was determined using by HPLC following OECD 107 and EU method A.8. The partition coefficient of Chloroacetamide at 25°C was determined by measuring the concentrations in the 1-octanol and water phases of six different solutions with different concentrations. Based on the concentrations measured, the partition coefficients were calculated. The mean partition coefficient (Pow) was 0.233 (+/- 0.0181) and the log Pow was -0.63.
In the Klimisch 2 study from CABB (2007) thepartition coefficientof Chloroacetamide was calculated using the international accepted QSAR tool EPIwin. For 25 °C the log Pow was calculated to be -0.58. The results of this study are considered reliable and relevant for the risk assessment. However, since an experimental value is available, this QSAR study is considered to be supporting information only.
Hence both studies indicate that Chloroacetamide has a low log Pow. For the risk assessment, the measured log Pow will be used, i.e., -0,63.
The results of this study are considered reliable and relevant for the 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.
