Description of key information
log Kow = 2.6 at 25 °C and pH3 (undissociated form)
(OECD TG 117, HPLC method)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 2.6
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
log Kow values in the range 2.2 to 2.6 were determined by HPLC method, found in handbooks, and calculated by QSAR. In a weight of evidence approach the log Kow = 2.6 at 25 °C and pH3 was chosen as key value for chemical safety assessment.
