Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 107, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 and OPPTS 830.7550 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the shake flask method. A stock solution of the test substance was prepared in n-octanol presaturated with water. The samples in the octanol phase were extracted with water. The water phase was diluted and analysed using HPLC. Test vessels with octanol/water mixture in different ratios were shaked for 5 minutes by hand. Separation of the two phases was achieved by centrifugation at 20 °C (5 min, 4000 rpm). Then the two phases were analysed using HPLC. The partition coefficient of the test item was determined to be 0.0918. The log Pow was determined to be -1.04.
