Discussion

Substances having a log10 Pow of greater than 3 are regarded as having the potential to bioaccumulate in the environment.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of BHES-100X has been determined to be 8.72 x 10^-3 at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C, log10 Pow = -2.06
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient has been determined to be 8.72 x 10-3 at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C, log10 Pow = -2.06, using the shake-flask method, Method 107 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
