Description of key information

OECD guideline, GLP compliant study. HPLC method to determine the Log Koc and Koc values at 35°C.

Koc and Log Koc value was determined to be 850 and 2.93, respectively. This indicates that the substance is of high mobility and not expected to adsorb to soil.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
850
