Description of key information
Partition coefficient (LogPow): 1.29-2.91 as tetrahydrophthalic anhydride
Partition coefficient (LogPow): -0.62 as tetrahydrophthalic acid
Partition coefficient (LogPow): ca. -4.79 - ca. -4.4 as tetrahydrophthalic acid (ionized form, environmental conditions)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -4.79
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Partition coefficients have been investigated using methods in accordance with OECD/EU test methods.
A LogPow of 1.29 was determined for 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA D4)
Starting from this value, a LogPow in range 1.29 - 2.91 was estimated by calculation for tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA) as UVCB substance.
Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride rapidly hydrolyses to tetrahydrophthalic acid.in aqueous media.
A LogPow of -0.62 was determined for tetrahydrophthalic acid (THPAc).
Considering all the charge-state forms of tetrahydrophthalic acid dissolved in water and in octanol, a LogD (distribution coefficient) was estimated taking account for the pH dependence of the substance in aqueous solution.
For the environmental and PBT assessments, the acid form was considered more significant, with logD= -4.79 as more reprentative value.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
