Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Remarks:
The determination of the partition coefficient for the substance is difficult due to its composition (reaction mass) and due to the fact that it is a surfactant which is ionisable. The proposed approach in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment R.7.1.8 for surfactants was followed. Thus the comparison was performed of measured solubilities in octanol and water, using for the latter the critical micelle concentration in water as the solubility limit.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The proposed approach in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment R.7.1.8 for surfactants was followed.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: calculation
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
1.17
Remarks on result:
other: LogPow of C16MES was calculated as the Quotient of the n-octanol solubility (see section 4.9) and the CMC (see section 4.8) of C16MES
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
1.74
Remarks on result:
other: LogPow of C18MES was calculated as the Quotient of the n-octanol solubility (see section 4.9) and the CMC (see section 4.8) of C18MES

Description of key information

The calculated logPow of C16MES was determined to be 1.17

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
1.17
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The proposed approach in the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment R.7.1.8 for surfactants was followed. Thus the comparison was performed of measured solubilities in octanol and water, using for the latter the critical micelle concentration in water as the solubility limit.

Both calculated values will be used separately for the separate CSA of both components:

Key value for CSA for C16MES is 1.17
