The concentration of the starting water test item solution (16-217 A8) was equal to 1.56 g/L.

The temperature during the partition phase was equal to 20.0 °C ± 1.0 °C.

The pH of the water saturated phase before the partition was equal to 6.74 at 20.0 °C.

The pH of the aqueous phase solutions after the partition were between 3.59 and 3.63 at 20.0 °C.

 


Conclusions:
The n-octanol/water partition coefficient log10 Pow of the test item was found to be in the range 0.23-0.27 based on analytical measurements performed on its main constituents (acrylic acid monomers and 2-carboxyethyl acrylate oligomers).
Executive summary:

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient log10 Pow of the test item was determined in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with EC A.8 method and OECD Guideline No. 107, using the shake-flask method. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient log10 Pow of the test item was found to be in the range 0.23-0.27 based on analytical measurements performed on its main constituents (acrylic acid monomers and 2-carboxyethyl acrylate oligomers).
