 The measured value of the test sample was not within the acceptable range, therefore QSAR Modelling was used to calculate Log10 Pow.

Conclusions:
Two peaks were identified with the HPLC Method and both peaks were Log10 Pow > 6.2, which are not within the acceptable range of 0 to 6. The Partition coefficient of the test substance was identified as 8.84 using QSAR Modelling.

Description of key information

Partition coefficient: Log pow = 8.84 (OECD 117/calculation method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
8.84

Additional information

Two peaks were identified with the HPLC Method and both peaks were Log10 Pow > 6.2, which are not within the acceptable range of 0 to 6. The Partition coefficient of the test substance was therefore identified as 8.84 using QSAR Modelling.
