Details on results:
Please see section “any other information on results” as this information contains tables, etc. and it would be rendered less comprehensible separated. It is assumed that log Kow for reference substances were determined at 20 - 25°C, as recommended in OECD 107; therefore, a temperature of 20°C is associated with this estimation for the test substance.

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test material has been estimated using the HPLC method. The method employed complied with that specified in the current OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals. Testing was conducted between 19 December 2009 and 20 December 2009. The determination was carried out using the HPLC Method, Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004. The partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be 6.29 x 10e3, log10 Pow = 3.80.

Description of key information

log Kow = 3.80

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
3.8
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The log Kow of the reaction mass of divinylbenzene and ethylstyrene was determined to be 3.80. The HPLC estimation method did not produce chromotographic resolution of the component isomers. However, calculation of log Kow of these components using the structure-fragment method (KOWWIN) indicates similar log Kow values for divinylbenzene (3.80) and ethylstyrene (3.93). The calculation method, as well as reported measured log Kow values (see SS_DVB:Japan 1992), for DVB indicate little difference in log Pow for positional isomers of these substances. The single value of log Kow resulting from the HPLC estimation is therefore regarded to give a suitable representation of the log Kow of the closely related components.
