Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Due to the surface activity of the test substance, the shake-flask method according to OECD guideline 107 or the HPLC method according to OECD guideline 117 are not applicable. Therefore the partition coefficient was calculated from the individual solubilities in n-octanol and water according to REGULATION (EC) No 440/2008 - A.8. PARTITION COEFFICIENT - Appendix 1 Calculation/estimation methods

Executive summary:

Due to the surface activity of the test substance the shake-flask method according to OECD guideline 107 or the HPLC method according to OECD guideline 117 are not applicable. Therefore the partition coefficient was calculated from the individual solubilities in n-octanol and water according to REGULATION (EC) No 440/2008 - A.8. PARTITION COEFFICIENT - Appendix 1 Calculation/estimation methods.

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water is log Pow = 0.24 at 20°C.

Description of key information

log Kow = 0.24 at 20 °C (n-octanol / water solubility quotient)
C12 constituent: logPow = -0.44 (QSAR, KOWWIN v1.68)
C14 constituent: logPow = 0.54 (QSAR, KOWWIN v1.68)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
0.24

20 °C

Additional information

The log Kow of the most relevant constituents of this UVCB substance have been calculated. According to the composition data these are the C12 and the C14 constituents.

Additionally, the log Kow of Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate has been calculated from its individual n-octanol and water solubilites, as it is suggested in the EU method A.8 for surface active materials. Both methods result in similar partition coefficients (i.e. log Kow -0.44 to 0.54 for the C12/C14 components of this substance; log Kow = 0.24 when estimated based on individual solubilities in octanol and water).
