Details on results:
The log Kow of the test substance was determined to be -2.1375 (Pow: 0.0074) at 20 °C and pH 9.20.

At 96 hours values reached equilibrium, and so this value was considered for final calculations making duplicate determinations of every ratio o/w. Concentration of mother solution: W 1 = 0.0413 g / 100 mL = 0.4130 g/L

Executive summary:

Method

Partition coefficient was determined by means of shake flask method as per recommendations of OECD 107. Partition coefficient (P) is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting in two largely immiscible solvents.

Result

Study conducted at 20 °C and pH 9.20.

Average Pow = 0.0074 at 20 °C

logPow = -2.1375 at 20 °C

Description of key information

The log Kow of the test substance was determined to be -2.1375 (Pow: 0.0074) at 20 °C and pH 9.20.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-2.138
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

For the determination of the partition coefficient of the test substance a Shake Flask method according to OECD 107 was used. The log Kow of the test substance was determined to be -2.1375 (Pow: 0.0074) at 20 °C and pH 9.20.
