Conclusions:
log Kow values in the range 4.59 to 6.41 were determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The results are considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

log Kow: log Kow ranges from 4.59 to 6.41 (OECD 117). The substance has potential to bioaccumulate in the environment (log Kow >4).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

log Kow values in the range 4.59 to 6.41 have been determined for the constituents of the substance using an HPLC method in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 117 and in compliance with GLP. For approximately 90% by area of the test substance, a log Kow value of 5.98 was obtained. The result is considered to be reliable.
