Details on results:
Preliminary visual estimation of the n-octanol solubility
Defined amounts of the test item were stirred with n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved parts. According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol was between 1.6 g/l and 21.9 g/l (without correction for the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log POW from the preliminary test
The estimated partition coefficient was calculated with the water solubility from the preliminary test data determined in project PS20180189-4 (cS = 212 g/l) . It was calculated to be: log POW between -1.0 and -2.1.
Also the program KOWWIN (part of EPI Suite) was used for calculating the log POW of the test item. The calculated values were -0.6 (for the free acid of the test item) and -2.5 (for the sodium salt of the test item).
Because of the estimated and the calculated values of log Pow, according to the guidelines the partition coefficient of the test item was determined by the shake flask method.

Partition coefficients of the shake flask method at pH 4 was determined to be log Pow = -0.9.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of the test item was determined: log Pow = -0.9 (pH 4).
