Conclusions:
The log Kow of Ethyl Palmitate is 7.74 calculated with the KOWWIN Program (v1.68), based on the fragment method. This model is validated and the substance Ethyl Palmitate fit its applicability domain.

Description of key information

The log Kow of Ethyl Palmitate is 7.74 calculated with the KOWWIN Program (v1.68), based on the fragment method. This model is validated and the substance Ethyl Palmitate fit its applicability domain.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
7.74

Additional information

No study investigating the log Kow of Ethyl Palmitate is available. The log Kow of the category members was also estimated with EPISUITE, KOWWIN Program (v1.68), and log Kow values between 7.17 and 9.70 were obtained depending on the length of the fatty acid chains (between C14 to C18) and the length of the alcool (between C2 to C4).
