Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
3.14

Additional information

Data from handbooks and authoritative databases suggests that the experimental octanol-water partition coefficient (Log Kow) of Nonan-2-one was 3.14

KOWWIN v1.68 was used to estimate the octanol- water partition coefficient of nonan-2-one. The estimated octanol-water partition coefficient (Log Kow) of Nonan-2-one was 2.71

The experimental and estimated values indicate that nonan-2 -one is hydrophillic in nature, which is also supported by its moderate solubility in water.
