Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
28 September 2006 to 28 March 2007
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to other study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Due to difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: EU Method A.8.
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Due to difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 117 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Due to difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Due to difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied. Hence the partition coefficient of the test material was estimated using the solubility data in n-octanol and water as obtained in the preliminary test in the water solubility study.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
estimation method (solubility ratio)
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
> 4.69
Remarks on result:
other: At room temperature
Details on results:
log Pow = log10 (> 536000 mg/L / < 10.9 mg/L) = > 4.69
Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test material, calculated from the individual solubilities in n-octanoland water, is log Pow > 4.69.
Executive summary:

Due to  difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied. Hence the partition coefficient of the test material was calculated using the solubility data in n-octanol and water as obtained in the preliminary test in the water solubility study.

The partition coefficient of the test material is calculated to be log Pow > 4.69.

Description of key information

Due to the difficulties with the analytical method (only a GC method is available) and the solubility of the test material in water, a test according to EU Method A.8 and OECD Guidelines 107 / 117 (either HPLC or flask shaking) could not be applied. Hence the partition coefficient of the test material was calculated using solubility data in n-octanol and in water, obtained during the preliminary test in the water solubility study.

The partition coefficient of the test material is calculated to be log Pow >4.69.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
