Description of key information

Partition coefficient [tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol]: -0.14 at 24.7°C and pH 6.7 - 6.8 (OECD 107)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.14
at the temperature of:
24.7 °C

Additional information

A measured log Kow of -0.14 at 24.7°C and pH 6.7 - 6.8 was determined for the substance in accordance with OECD 107 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and selected as key study. In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, a limit log Kow of <3 was reported for the substance.
