Additional information

The octanol - water partition coefficient of dimethylamine was experimentally determined by BASF AG in 1988. At a temperature of 25 °C and in the pH range of 10.8 - 11.1 the substance possess a log Pow of -0.274.

Both impartial databases, HSDB and GESTIS, report a logPow of -0.38 for dimethylamine.
