Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
until 1986-11-13
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Remarks:
only summary and parts of the in general well-documented study report available
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient - Shake Flask Method)
Version / remarks:
Preliminary test A.6.1.6.2 was used to obtain the apparent solubility of the test item in octanol saturated with water and in water saturated with octanol.
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
flask method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
not specified
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
Apparent insolubility in octanol and instability in water preclude measurement of the partition coefficint for the test item. Apllication of a standard test for solubility gave apparent solubility of ca. 10exp(-2) g/l of the test item in water saturated with octanol and <<10exp(-2) g/l for the test item in in octanol saturated with water at room temperature. Although the test item appered to flocculate and disperse on dilution with water the test material seemed to agglomerate in octanol with no change on dilution and storage.
Conclusions:
Only summary and parts of the in general well-documented study report available, but given data indicate that the study was performed properly and the results are reliable.
Executive summary:

Apparent insolubility in octanol and instability in water preclude measurement of the partition coefficint for the test item. Apllication of a standard test for solubility gave apparent solubility of ca. 10exp(-2) g/l of the test item in water saturated with octanol and <<10exp(-2) g/l for the test item in in octanol saturated with water at room temperature.

Although the test item appered to flocculate and disperse on dilution with water the test material seemed to agglomerate in octanol with no change on dilution and storage.

Description of key information

Apparent insolubility in octanol and instability in water preclude measurement of the partition coefficient for the test item. Application of a standard test for solubility gave apparent solubility of ca. 10exp(-2) g/l of the test item in water saturated with octanol and <<10exp(-2) g/l for the test item in in octanol saturated with water at room temperature.

Although the test item appered to flocculate and disperse on dilution with water the test material seemed to agglomerate in octanol with no change on dilution and storage.
