Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hansch et al. reported in 1995 in the article " Exploring QSAR. Hydrophobic, Electronic, and Steric Constants." ( ACS Professional Reference Book. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC.) that the log Pow of thymol is determined experimentally to be 3.3.
The log octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) for thymol was predicted using the QSAR model KOWWIN v1.68 implemented in the Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite v 4.1 (US EPA 2010). The log Kow was predicted to be 3.52. The predicted value falls within the applicability domain of the model.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 3.3
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Since one result found in handbook data may not adequately fulfill the requirements for data quality for this endpoint, it was completed by QSAR estimation with a scientifically validated and reliable model. The substance falls within the applicability domain of the model, results are adequate for risk assessment and the applied method is adequate and reliably documented.
Handbook data and QSAR estimation are evaluated in a weight-of-evidence approach and experimentally derived handbook data are shown to be comparable to the estimation. Since experimental data are expected to be even more reliable than calculated ones these are used as key data and taken forward to risk assessment.
Furthermore, using the slightly lower experimental log Kow from handbook data has no significant influence on risk assessment, e.g. RCR <1 or PBT assessment. Furthermore no temperature was given in the handbook data and in the calculation model, but room conditions (20 - 25 °C) can be assumed. For the chemical assessment the temperature was set to 20 °C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
