Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Analytical method:

Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: no data on the pH-value is given in the test report
Type:
Pow
Partition coefficient:
< 0.004
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: no data on the pH-value is given in the test report
Details on results:
Since the main study hasn't been performed, no pH value is not given in the test report.
The pH was determined in the study No: 1998_04_20_01 resp. 98007/01-PCSB (Walter, D. 1998). The pH-Value of the saturated solution at 20 °C was 9.68. The density at 20 °C was 1.2678 g/mL.

The method used applies only to "pure substances". Due to the fact that the test items consists of 2 components and an impurity, the solubility, respectively the partition coefficient for each of the components may be different from the calculated value of the test item.

Conclusions:
The partition coeficient Pow was determined to be < 0.01 at 20°C (log Pow < -2).
Executive summary:

To get information about the approximate octanol/water-partition coefficient of the test substance a preliminary test was performed. The approximate partition coefficient was estimated from the ratio of the solubilities of the test substance in pure solvents. The solubility of the test substance in water was determined in the study 98007/01-PCSB to be 125.76 g/L.

The approximate partition coefficient was estimated from the ratio of the solubilities of the test substance in pure solvents:

Pow< 0.5/125.76 = 0.00398, log Pow < -2.4

Following the EEC directive A.8. the flask method is applitcable when the log Pow value falls within the range -2 to 4. The log Pow was determined in the preliminarytest to be < -2. Therefore a main test was not performed.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient Pow was determined to be < 0.004 at 20°C (log Pow < -2.4).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-2.4
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The partition coefficient was calculated based on the solubility of the test item in n-octanol and water. Due to the poor solubility of the test item in n-octanol, only a limit value was used for the calculation.

The method used usually applies to not to multi-consistent substances.
