3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
Predictions have been made for combinations of shortest and longest carbon chain (C11-15) and shortest and longest ethoxy unit numbers (1-8). As the model uses a fragment method for predicting Log Pow, then any other permutation of structures of Softanol 30 will be within the predicted range.

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- Defined endpoint: LogKow
- Unambiguous algorithm: LogKow predictions KOWWIN V1.68
- Defined domain of applicability:
1) Molecular weight (range of test data set: 18.02 to 719.92 g/mol; On-Line KOWWIN User’s Guide, Ch. 6.2.3 Estimation Domain)
2) Fragments: Number of instances of the identified fragments does not exceed the maximum number as listed in Appendix D (On-Line KOWWIN User’s Guide)
3) Fragments: Substance has a functional group(s) or other structural features not represented in the training set, and for which no fragment coefficient was developed (Appendix D, On-Line KOWWIN User’s Guide)
- Appropriate measures of robustness and predictivity: The test substance is not ionisable with a simple structure ideal for QSAR prediction. Furthermore it fully complies with the model domain and there is good reason to expect the prediction to be within the lowest estimated error band of less than or equal to 0.2 log units.
- Mechanistic interpretation:Log Kow is related to the partitioning of the substance from a lipid phase (n-octanol) into a polar phase (water). The equilibrium concentration in each phase will depend largely on the overall polarity of the molecule which is determined in the KOWWIN model by summation of estimated Log Kow values for identified fragments.
5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
- Descriptor domain: test substance is within the stated domain of the model – MWt in the range 18.02 to 719.92
- Structural and mechanistic domains: the test substance has no functional groups or other structural features not represented in the training set, and for which no fragment coefficient is available.The number of occurrences of each fragment in the test substance does not exceed the maximum number of that fragment that occurs in any individual compound in the training or the validation set.
- Similarity with analogues in the training set: not applicable to a fragment contribution method
6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
Support for the registration of the test substance under REACH at > 1000 tonnes.
Approach for regulatory interpretation of the model result: The determination of the log kow of softanol 30 has been determined by the OECD 117. The HPLC method (OECD 117) resulted in a log Pow value of 6.2. An estimation of the log Pow was also conducted using QSAR in the aquatic risk assessment in line with the approach adopted in the HERA review on alcohol ethoxylate surfactants. The estimated value was Log Pow 5.3.
Outcome: the result is adequate and is regarded as the key value for risk assessment and classification. - Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other:
- Version / remarks:
- REACH guidance on QSARs R.6, May/July 2008
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- - Principle of test: QSAR calculation of Log Kow
- Short description of test conditions: use of KOWIN model version 1.68
- Parameters analysed / observed: a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. - Type:

- Details on results:
- Predictions have been made for combinations of shortest and longest carbon chain (C11-15) and shortest and longest ETO (1-8). As the model uses a fragment method for predicting Log Pow, then any other permutation of structures of Softanol 30 will be within the predicted range.
- Conclusions:
- The log Pow calculated by EpiSuite was ranging from 2.01 to 5.30 (worst case). Log Pow increased with lengthening alcohol chain but decreased with increasing ethoxy units.
