Justification for type of information:
In accordance with of ECHA’s endpoint specific guidance (R 7a) (dated July 2017), it states 'When no experimental data of high quality are available, or if experimental methods are known to be unreliable, valid (Q)SARs for log Kow may be used e.g. in a weight-of-evidence approach'. Full details on the partition coefficient predictions are provided in the attached QPRF and associated QMRFs.

Remarks:
QSAR predictions reported
Details on results:
The substance is of uncertain and variable composition which cannot be measured directly due to dispersion in a base oil medium. The constituents present are assumed based on the reactants, and detected analytically only when isolated from the base oil. Example structures for such constituents are illustrated below. The Log Kow for the test item was determined for each identifiable structure using 3 QSAR models and the range of Log Kows was 7.16 to 11.97.

Details on results:
The test item is a UVCB; in the obtained chromatographic data two test item related signals were detected. Therefore two Log Pow valueswere determined for the test item under the chromatographic conditions. As the test item contains more than two components, other components probably do not elute with the used chromatographic conditions. The other components are expected to have different Log Pows.

The difference between the three measurements of the reference mixture was less than 0.1 log unit, and therefore the study is considered valid.

The linearity of the analytical method was confirmed in the log Pow range from 0.9 to 5.1;

Calibration Curve: y = 0.3540x - 0.4651; r2 = 0.976

Conclusions:
The Log Pow values of the test item were determined to be 2.6 and 2.9 using the HPLC method at 25 ± 1 °C.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined in an OECD 117 and EC A.8 guideline study using a HPLC method with DAD detection. The test item was tested in a solution of 50 % methanol and 50 % pure water. The partition coefficients were calculated based on a calibration curve using 7 reference items and the test item was analysed in triplicate. Pre-tests were performed to confirm the suitability of the HPLC conditions and the reference items.

In the obtained chromatographic data two test item related signals were detected. Therefore two Log Pow were determined for the test item under the chromatographic conditions and these were 2.6 and 2.9 at 25 ± 1 °C. The test item is a UVCB and contains more than two components therefore it is likely that other components do not elute with the used chromatographic conditions. The other components are expected to have different Log Pows.

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is deemed reliable without restrictions for assessment of this endpoint.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient, Log Kow, of the test item was determined using the SPARC (v6.0), ALOGPS and KOWWIN (v1.68) QSAR models to be in the range of 7.16 – 11.97 at 25 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The partition coefficient, Log Kow, of the test item was determined using the SPARC (v6.0), ALOGPS and KOWWIN (v1.68) QSAR models. The substance is of uncertain and variable composition which cannot be measured directly due to dispersion in a base oil medium. The constituents present are assumed based on the reactants, and detected analytically only when isolated from the base oil and the Log Kow was determined to be in the range of 7.16 – 11.97 at 25 °C.

In a supporting study the Log Pow was determined to be 2.6 and 2.9 at 25 ± 1 °C (Mollandin 2009). However, the structures associated with the peaks were not identified. The test item is a UVCB and contains more than two components, other components probably do not elute with the used chromatographic conditions. The other components are expected to have different Log Pows. This study is therefore used as supporting data.
