Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The LogKow was calculated by the KOWWIN module in the EPI Suite package to be -0.35. The LogKow available from the experimental database in KOWWIN is -0.33 (Hansch et al., 1995).

Description of key information

The log Pow of the test substance was determined in a non GLP study according to OECD Guideline 107 to be -0.32 at 25 °C (BASF AG, 1989).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.32
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Although the study was performed without pH adjustment, supporting data from the KOWWIN calculation (EPI Suite package) revealing a LogKow of -0.35 for the uncharged molecule, confirm that the pH of the experimental study is high enough for having predominantly the uncharged molecule in the test solutions. In addition, the LogKow available from the experimental database in KOWWIN is -0.33 (Hansch et al., 1995).
