Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 0.764 at 22.2 ± 0.5 °C, log10 Pow -0.117.
Executive summary:

Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water) was determined to be 0.764 at 22.2 ± 0.5 °C, log10 Pow -0.117, using the shake-flask method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 107 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
