Description of key information

The Log Kow of the “isostearate 2 -ethylhexyl” is between 9.63 and 11.59 (estimated with the fragment method). The representative value of the logKow is 10.61 calculated for the median chain, Fatty acids C16, 2 -Ethyl-hexyl ester.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
10.61
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

No studies investigating the log Kow of “Isostearate 2-ethylhexyl (= Fatty acids, C14-18 and C18 unsatd., branched and linear, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 85186-76-1)) are available. Using KOWWIN Program (v1.68), log Kow values of 9.63, 10.61, 11.59 et 11.38 were calculated based on the fragment method for the C14, C16, C18 and C18 unsatd. constituents, respectively. The branched chains were not taken into account because no precise information on these structures are available and moreover they have a very little impact on the log Kow. So it can be considered that the Log Kow of the isostearate 2 -ethylhexyl is between 9.63 and 11.59. The constituents C16 to C18, 2-Ethylhexyl esters are outside the Kow range of the training set. So the results should be taken with caution. The definite values may not be fully reliable, however they indicate a high coefficient of octanol-water, which is also to be expected based on  low water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L).

Additionally, the C14 constituent of the category members, which has shorter fatty acid chain fit into the domain of the training set, and the resulting log Kow of 9.63 is reliable and consistent with the log Kow of the other components of “Isosearate 2-ethylhexyl” .

Based on this information, it can be assumed that the coefficient octanol-water of the Isostearate 2-ethylhexyl is high and can be represented by the calculated value of the median chain (C16 fatty acids, 2 ethylhexyl ester) which is reported as log Kow = 10.61.
