Applicability domain
(OECD principle 3)

Domains:

1) Molecular weight (range of test data set: 26.04 to 451.47 g/mol, mean: 144.64 g/mol) (On-Line HENRYWIN User’s Guide, Ch. 7.4 Estimation Domain and Appendix G)

Substance within range (184.37 g/mol)

2) Maximum number of instances of bond in any of the training set compounds (On-Line HENRYWIN User’s Guide, Appendix D)

exceeded

3) Maximum number of instances of correction factor in any of the training set compounds (On-Line HENRYWIN User’s Guide, Appendix E)

Not exceeded

3.4

The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, Appendix R.7.1-1 (Nov. 2012), measurement of HLC is not highly accurate, especially for very high or very low HLC values. The bond contribution method regarded by Altschuh et al. (1999) to produce the most reliable results with the exception of organochlorine pesticides. However, for some compounds, the method can yield a Henry's Law constant of 1.0x10-12atm*m3/mol or smaller. Numbers which are smaller than this value may be unrealistically low.

3.5

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

The compound is split into a summation of individual bonds which comprise the compound. The summation of these bonds (= bond contribution values) is set equal to LWPAC. Correction factors were developed to correct for polar interactions and other deviations from the regression curve, which are applied to members of some chemical classes.
