- Executive summary:
The determination was carried out using the HPLC Method designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.
The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with a suitable detector. A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low percentage of polar groups was used (e.g. C8, C18). The mobile phase contained at least 25% aqueous phase.
Conclusion
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range 7.14 x 106 to greater than 1.58 x 107 (log10 Pow 6.85 to > 7.20).

Description of key information
log Kow (constituents of the substance): 6.85 to >7.2 at 35°C and pH 7.3 (measured)
log Kow (constituents): 6.58 - >9 at 20°C (QSAR)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The log Kow of the constituents of the substance have been measured using the HPLC method in accordance with OECD 117 Test Method and in compliance with GLP. The n-octanol/water partition coefficients of the constituents were determined to be in the range 7.14 x 106 to >1.58 x 107 (log10 Pow 6.85 to >7.2) at 35°C and pH 7.3. The study was considered to be reliable but the results are not useful for chemical safety assessment.
As supporting information, log Kow for individual constituents of Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics have been predicted using a separately validated QSAR estimation method. The prediction method uses a fragment method and log Kow increases with increasing carbon number. The individual constituents of the substance have predicted log Kow values in the range 6.58 - >9 at 20°C.
