- Key result
- Type:
- log Pow
- Partition coefficient:
- < 0
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: No information on pH
- Details on results:
- The sample was dissolved in distilled water and the partition coefficient was tested by HPLC, ASTM E 1147 M. The partition coefficient (Log Kow) of the sample was tested to be <0. It should be noted that water has a Log Kow of -1.4, and the instrument operational range is 0 – 8.
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, partition coefficient (Log Kow) of the test substance was determined to be -5.87 at 20ºC .
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of the substance, according to the ASTM methods E 1148 M and E 1147 M. Under the study conditions, the partition coefficient (Log Kow) of the test substance was determined to be -5.87 at 20ºC (Jordi, 2019).
Reference
n-Octanol Solubility:
To further evaluate the Log Kow, n-octanol solubility measurements were performed per ASTM E 1148M. Analysis for Time Point 1 was performed on the 1st day, and analysis for Time Point 2 was performed on the 2nd day. The analysis results are presented in the below table.

The n-octanol solubility of the test could be calculated as the average of the above results, i.e. 0.387 mg/L.
Therefore, the partition coefficient of the test substance was calculated to be as follows:
Kow = n-octanol solubility/water solubility = 1.63E-6. Therefore log Kow = -5.87
Description of key information
A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of the substance according to ASTM methods E 1148 M and E 1147 M (Jordi, 2019).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -5.87
- at the temperature of:

Additional information
The partition coefficient was determined as a ratio of the n-octanol and water solubility.
