Description of key information

log Koc = 3.23 – 7.06 (MCI method)

log Koc = 2.72 – 6.59 (log Pow based method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the adsorption/desorption potential Castor oil, ester with glycerol (CAS 68459-67-6) are available. Therefore, the adsorption potential is assessed on the basis of QSAR calculations using KOCWIN v2.00 (Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) and log Kow method) for the two main components of the substance.

The models have no universally accepted definition of the model domain. For the monoester component, the substance is within the applicability domain of the molecular weight and log Kow ranges of the training set of the MCI and log Kow model. It is slightly outside the applicability of the structural domain for the number of aliphatic alcohols. For the diester component, the substance is within the applicability domain of the molecular weight range but outside for that of the log Kow range and the number of aliphatic alcohols. Therefore, the results should be considered with caution and are used in a weight of evidence approach, in accordance with the REACh Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI General rules for adaptation of the standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X, 1.2.

Estimations based on the MCI method resulted in log Koc values of 3.23 – 7.06 and the log Pow method resulted in log Koc values of 2.72 – 6.59. Thus, the obtained estimates may not be fully reliable, but indicate a high adsorption potential, which is also to be expected based on the high log Kow (> 4.5).
