- 0.93
- Temp.:
- 22 °C
- pH:
- ca. 2.2
- Details on results:
- data according Sangster, J. (1989):
pH: unspecified, but assumed to be < 2.2 pH of methacrylic acid.
- Hansch and Leo selcted value
- uncertainty: ± 0.20 - pKa = 4.66 - Conclusions:
- The experimental value is log Pow=0.93.
- Executive summary:
The octanol water partition coefficient was tested in a shake flask method. The concentration of methacrylic acid was measured by titration. The experimental value is log Pow=0.93.
Reference
No dimerisation in alcohols has been observed by IR-spectroscopy
Description of key information
The octanol water partition coefficient was tested in by shake flask method and reported with 0.93 at 22 °C . Based on log Pow bioaccumulation in organisms is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 0.93
- at the temperature of:
- 22 °C
Additional information
Supporting information is available with calculated values of 0.99 (KOWWIN) and -0.28 (method of Hansch & Leo).
