Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

log Pow
Partition coefficient:
>= 8.7
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH not applicable (estimation method)
Details on results:
The content of test item dissolved in the n-octanol sample was ≥ 121 g/L, the water solubility was ≤ 0.25 µg/L.
Conclusions:
The log Pow of 5.4 resulting from the HPLC method is in contrast with the preliminary log Pow of ≥ 8.7 (based on the water solubility and the observation that the test item readily dissolves in n-octanol) and a calculated log Pow of 19.2 (based on the atom/fragment contribution method of EPI SuiteTM). The results from an adsorption coefficient study using the HPLC method show that this method is possibly not applicable for this test item as it might be excluded from the stationary phase pores resulting in a shorter retention time than expected on hydrophobic interactions only. Furthermore, the test item was proven unstable in methanol as indicated by high resolution mass spectra of test item solutions in methanol recorded after preparation, after 4 hours and 27.5 hours. Thus, the log Pow obtained based on the water solubility and a visual n-octanol solubility test is used.

Description of key information

Log Pow ≥ 8.7 (calculated as the quotient of the n-octanol solubility and the water solubility) at 20°C (OECD 117, EU A.24)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
