Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The key value for the log Pow is 3.21 to 3.25 (at 20°C) although a number of other sources are reported with slighly lower values.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
3.25
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

A total of twelve log Pow values are reported in the five studies cited. They vary between 2.92 and 3.25 although the temperature is not indicated in most cases. These are recorded in the table below:-

In accordance with the ECHA guidance document (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R .7a : Endpoint specific guidance - subsection 7.1.8.3, page 105) where there are variations in the values reported the highest reliable value should take precedence - hence 3.25 at 20 °C. In addition, the guidance document also references a number of additional potential data sources, one of which is the Canadian National Committee for CODATA (CNC/CODATA) database (http://logKow/cisti/nrc/ca).

This database lists 20 log Pow values ranging from 2.87 to 3.41 at 20 -25 °C (where the temperature is available) which is reproduced below :- (http://logkow.cisti.nrc.ca/logkow/display?OID=1339 ).

Given that the first value (3.21 -3.25) to be reported in the SIDS dossier is regarded as a critical study for this endpoint this is taken as the key value for chemical safety assessment. Since this is a range the higher value is taken in accordance with the ECHA guidance document (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R .7a : Endpoint specific guidance - subsection 7.1.8.3, page 105).
