Description of key information

Log Koc: 2.76 – 10.21 (QSAR: EPI Suite v4.11, MCI and log Pow - regression based models)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Fatty acids, coco, esters with 1,3-butanediol (CAS 73138-39-3) is a UVCB substance. Therefore 4 representative constituents (2 mono-esters and 2 di-esters) covering the boundary composition of the substance were chosen to calculate the log Koc values. Calculations were performed using two QSAR models (MCI and log Pow - regression based methods) implemented within the EPI Suite software (v4.11).

Both models predict similar log Koc values for the individual constituents. The adsorption potential of the mono-esters is mostly predicted to be moderate (2.76 to 4.33 or 3.34 to 4.97 based on the MCI and log Kow regression model, respectively) while the adsorption potential of the di-esters is high (6.14 to 9.26 or 6.96 to 10.21 based on the MCI and log Kow regression model respectively).

Not all constituents are completely within the applicability domain of the models. However, as explained in the field overall remarks and in attachments in the respective robust study summaries, the results were deemed adequate and reliable to be used in a weight of evidence approach in accordance to the REACh Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI General rules for adaptation of the standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X, 1.2.

In conclusion the log Koc of the substance ranges between 2.76 and 10.21.

For risk assessment purposes the weighted average Koc value was calculated based on the composition of the substance and the % of each constituent in the substance. The overall (weighted average) log Koc value was 4.78 and 4.124 (Koc = 13288). This value resulted from the summation of the individual weighted log Koc values calculated for each constituent by the Log Pow regression based and MCI methods, respectively. The lowest (log Koc = 4.124) value was used as key for the calculation of PNEC sediment and soil (Equilibrium Partitioning Method) since it represents the worst case. For more details on the calculation method see the attached justification in the field “attached justification” of the respective robust study summaries for adsorption.
