Description of key information

The log Kow of partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised is 4.7 at 22 °C. The log Kow was calculated from experimentally derived solubility in water and in n-octanol.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
4.7
at the temperature of:
22 °C

Additional information

The log Kow of partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised was calculated from experimentally derived solubility in water and in n-octanol. The log Kow is 4.7 at 22 °C.

The log Kow calculated by EPIWIN should not be used for the assessment, because partially unsaturated IQAC, DMS quaternised is ionic. EPIWIN does not take into account the ionic structure.

The log Kow deduced from the results of the HPLC Method according to EU Method A. is not regarded as valid, since the method is not suitable for surfactants as outlined in OECD Guideline 117 and EU Method A.8.

Deduced from the BCF value of 10.7 (see 4.3), the log Kow should be lower than 4.7. However correlation between log Kow and BCF is not linear for substances with high molecular weight and high log Kow.
