Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under ‘attached background material section’ for QPRF including domain evaluation.

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Since the test substance is a UVCB constituting of 2-6% glycerides, vegetable-oil, mono- and di-, 5-8% fatty acids, vegetable-oil; 9-15% fatty acids, vegetable-oil, Me esters; 15-55% squalene, 5-8% tocopherols, 12-20% plant sterols as well as plant sterol esters (which will hydrolyse to plan sterols) and 10-15% long chain hydrocarbons (C27 and C33 or C34), the partition coefficient values were estimated for the major constituents of the test substance.

Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
ca. 3.32 - ca. 23.94
Temp.:

Using the KOWWIN v1.69 program (EPI Suite v4.11), the partition coefficient range for major constituents of the test substance was estimated to be 3.32 to 23.94, indicating overall very high lipophilicity.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient value for the test substance were estimated using the KOWWIN v1.69 program (EPI Suite v4.11). Since the test substance is a UVCB constituting of 2-6% glycerides, vegetable-oil, mono- and di-, 5-8% fatty acids, vegetable-oil; 9-15% fatty acids, vegetable-oil, Me esters; 15-55% squalene, 5-8% tocopherols, 12-20% plant sterols as well as plant sterol esters (which will hydrolyse to plan sterols) and 10-15% long chain hydrocarbons (C27 and C33 or C34), the partition coefficient values were estimated for the major constituents of the test substance. SMILES was used as the input parameter. Using the KOWWIN v1.69 program (EPI Suite v4.11), the partition coefficient range for major constituents of the test substance was estimated to be 3.32 to 23.94 (US EPA, 2019) which indicated that the test substance is very hydrophibic and not readily bioavailable (US EPA, 2012). All of the constituents meet the MW domain criteria, however three out of fifteen constituents do not meet the structural fragment descriptors domain criteria as defined in the KOWWIN User guide of EPI SuiteTM. Therefore, the overall predictions for the constituents can be considered to be accurate with moderate uncertainty or reliable with moderate confidence.
