Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method)
Version / remarks:
Shake Flask Method, Adopted 27 July 1995
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Because of a low solubility of the test item in this medium, the stock solution was prepared in water pre-saturated with n-octanol. This deviation has no effect on the determination of log Pow of the test item.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
flask method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The Partition coefficient (log P) of the test item 2.4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid determined by shake-flask method is: log Pow = 0.98 ± 0.24 (pH 3.5, 23°C).
Executive summary:

The log Kow of the test substance is determined as 0,98 using the shake-flask method.
