Conclusions:
The n-octanol/water partition coefficent of the test item at 25 °C was determined to be (log Pow) 0.99.
Executive summary:

A test was conducted to determine the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the test substance according to the OECD Guideline 107 and EU Method A.8. The shake flask method was used for this purpose. Based on the findings of the study, the n-octanol/water partition coefficent of the test item at 25 °C, from the individual solubility in water and n-octanol, was determined to be (log Pow) 0.99.
