Remarks on result:
other: calculation

As the test substance consists of several constituents, for each constituent a partition coefficient was calculated. The partition coefficients (log Pow values) of all possible constituents are between 5.1 and 19.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test substance was estimated to be log Pow > 5 using the Leo-Hansch method.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was estimated according to EU method A.8 (Leo-Hansch method), OECD Guideline 117, and EPA OPPTS 830.7570 guideline. The partition coefficient of the test substance was estimated to be log Pow > 5 using the Leo-Hansch method. The test substance was not soluble in n-octanol and only slightly soluble in water. Therefore, due to the low solubility of the test substance in water and n-octanol and the low sensitivity of the analytical methods available the experimental determination of the partition coefficient by any analytical technique was technically not feasible.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test substance was estimated to be log Pow > 5 using the Leo-Hansch method.
