Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the partition coefficient of the test substance, acrylic acid, was determined to be 0.46 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance, acrylic acid, was determined, similar to the OECD Guideline 107. The n-octanol solubility and water solubility was determined to 0.46 at 25 °C. Under the study conditions, the partition coefficient of the test substance, acrylic acid, was determined to be 0.46 at 25°C (BASF, 1988).
