Mean log10Pow: greater than 6.5

Partition coefficient: greater than 3.2 x 10^6

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range 4.94 to greater than 3.2 E6, log10 Pow in the range 0.694 to greater than 6.5. Using area normalization, 89.3% of the test item gave a log10 Pow of greater than 6.5.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) was determined to be in the range 4.94 to greater than 3.2 x 106, log10Powin the range 0.694 to greater than 6.5, using the HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004. Using area normalization, 89.3% of the test item gave a log10Powof greater than 6.5.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range 4.94 to greater than 3.2 x 106, log10 Pow in the range 0.694 to greater than 6.5. Using area normalization, 89.3% of the test item gave a log10 Pow of greater than 6.5.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) was determined to be in the range 4.94 to greater than 3.2 x 106, log10Powin the range 0.694 to greater than 6.5, using the HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004. Using area normalization, 89.3% of the test item gave a log10Powof greater than 6.5. Due to the large range of results identified, no key result was identified as it would be unrepresentative of the substance.
