Conclusions:
The log Pow (Kow) can be considered to be approx. -5.04
Executive summary:

The given log Pow is calculated by using KowWin. Using e. g. models given by ChemProp did not provide any results. Based on the high water solubility, the calculated log Pow of -5.04 might provide a reasonable prediction. Therefore, we consider this value as reliable approximation of the log Pow for sodium N-methyltaurinate, since experimental data has not been observed.

Description of key information

The estimated log Pow by calculation varies between -5.04 and -1.29.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-5.04

Additional information

The estimated values for log Pow by calculation based on KOWWIN/EPI Suite and XLogP/OpenTox are -5.04 and -1.29, respectively. Using ChemProp to predict the log Pow did not provide any results. Based on the high water solubility, both predicted values could provide a reliable approximation of the log Pow. Nevertheless, the KOWWIN model is very common in use and provides more detailed results than the XLogP model. Therefore, we adopt the prediction for the log Pow of -5.04.
