Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Kow) of decamethylenediamine was determined according to OECD guideline no. 117 [2004] and EU test method A.8 [2008] with the HPLC method. The result was partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Kow) at 25 °C and pH 7.5: Kow = 1.995 / log Kow = 0.3.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 0.3
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
The study reflects the properties of the partially dissociated molecule. Measurement of undissociated decamethylenediamine would have required a pH value too high to be tolerated by the HPLC column. Therefore the pH was adjusted to 7.5 with a buffer as recommended in OECD TG 117. As dissociation leads to increased concentrations in the aqueous phase, a higher log Kow has to be expected for the undissociated molecule. However, this higher log Kow would not reflect the behaviour in the environment where approximately neutral pH values prevail.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
