Preliminary test

A preliminary assessment of the partition coefficient was made based by the Biowin calculation method (Epiwin® v2.0, SRC-EPI for Microsoft Windows c/William Meylan,1994,1995) using the structure of the test material.

Log Pow estimate: 2.35

Approximate Pow: 224

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the substance was determined to be Pow = 955 and log Pow = 2.98 at 30 °C and pH 7
Executive summary:

The n-octanol-water partition coefficient was determined using the HPLC method of EU Method A.8 and OECD Method 117 under GLP. As the test item contains no dissociating functional groups, testing was therefore carried out at neutral pH. The partition coefficient of the test item was determined to be Pow = 955 and log Pow = 2.98 at 30 °C and pH 7.
