The average retention times of the reference substances as well as the test substance, corrected for the dead time, are presented in table IV. The theoretical log K_owvalues of the reference substances were taken from OECD guideline 117. A complete overview of the results is presented in Annex 2.

Figure 1 in the attachment displays the graph of the theoretical values of log K_owand the average log k of the reference substances. Figure 2 shows an example of a HPLC-chromatogram from the analysis performed according to the test set up.

Conclusions:

The average measured log Kow value for 1,1,4,4-tetramethylbutane-1,4-diyl bis(2-ethylperoxyhexanoate)as determined from the test was >6.5. As estimation the log Kow value was calculated by extrapolation to be 7.1

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water (K_ow) of 1,1,4,4-tetramethylbutane-1,4-diyl bis(2-ethylperoxyhexanoate)was estimated using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The K_owtest was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 117 with one modification, the reference substances and test substances were dissolved in methanol. The data on the partition coefficient can be used to predict the adsorption on soil and sediments and for establishing quantitative structure-activity relationships for a wide range of biological effects.

The average measured log Kow value for 1,1,4,4-tetramethylbutane-1,4-diyl bis(2-ethylperoxyhexanoate)as determined from the test was >6.5. As estimation the log Kow value was calculated by extrapolation to be 7.1
