The log Koc was calculated at the optimal pH for each regression and additionally at pH values 4, 7 and 9, in order to see the variability at different potential environmental conditions. The Koc values obtained at different pH from both equations are listed in Table 1.

AEPD is a primary amine and acts as a base in aqueous solution. At environmental conditions, it will be mainly present in protonated form, i.e. positively charged. Three structurally similar substances can be found in the training set for the model and one in the validation set. The experimental and calculated log Koc values for these substances, listed in Table 2, show that the model performs relatively well for these substances. The difference between experimental and calculated values remains below half a logarithmic unit in most cases and below one unit in all cases. Since, no trend can be observed on which of the equations gives better predictions, it is cautious to use both and select the highest value as worst case for assessment.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
922

Additional information

There are no studies available investigating the adsoption/desorption behaviour of 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPD). The Koc was therefore estimated by calculation.

As primary amine, AEPD is partly present in its positively charged form under environmental pH. The regression used for calculation takes into account the adsorption of the charged and uncharged species. The predicted log Koc was 2.96, indicating low adsorption potential.
