Details on results:
The average solubility in n-octanol was 0.029 +/- 0.003 mg/L (and with the purity (52% w/w) correction: 0.01508 mg/L).
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the test substance was determined to be -6.63 (log Pow) and 2.33E-07 (Pow) at 20°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the test substance according to EU Method A.8, in compliance with GLP. It was estimated from the saturation concentrations of the test substance in octanol and in water according to the following equation: Pow = CsO/CsW (O: octanol and W: water), where CsO = 64.8 g/L (water solubility). CsO was determinated as follows: four weighed amounts (21.816 and 22.760 mg) of the test substance were added in portions to 50 mL of n-octanol and stirred for 3 h at 20.0°C. The treatment of the solutions was the same for all the samples; one aliquot of 8 mL were taken and centrifugated (15 min, 5000 rpm) and the centrifugates were filtered. 2 mL of n-octanol filtrates were extracted with 2 mL of distilled water, centrifugated (1 min, 5000 rpm) and the aquous phase was investigated by HPLC. Under the study conditions, the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the test substance was determined to be -6.63 (log Pow) and 2.33E-07 (Pow) at 20°C (Mühlberger, 1999).

Details on results:
The average solubility in n-octanol was 0.029 +/- 0.003 mg/L (and with the purity (52% w/w) correction: 0.01508 mg/L).
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the read across study, the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the substance was determined to be -6.63 (log Pow) and 2.33E-07 (Pow) at 20°C (HPLC). This is supported by the high water solubility limit of the substance (125000 mg/L) which suggests a low log Pow.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the read-across substance Reaktiv Scharlach F97 -0319 according to EU Method A.8, in compliance with GLP. It was estimated from the saturation concentrations of the test substance in octanol and in water according to the following equation: Pow = CsO/CsW (O: octanol and W: water), where CsO = 64.8 g/L (water solubility). CsO was determinated as follows: four weighed amounts (21.816 and 22.760 mg) of the test substance were added in portions to 50 mL of n-octanol and stirred for 3 h at 20.0°C.
