Conclusions:
The test item has a log Pow value of 4.47 at 22.7°C
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was determined according to OECD 117, HPLC method. For the calibration, 7 reference substances plus sodium nitrate for the void time were injected. Two valid calibration curves were set up. A solution of 3000 mg/L test item was prepared and injected twice. The average log Pow value was found to be 4.47 at 22.7°C.

Description of key information
