Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- other: no data on pH available
- Details on results:
- Lipophilic properties are quantatively characterized by Rm values obtained from reversed-phase TLC and by log k values obtained from reversed-phase HPLC experiments.
Rm and Log k are proportional to Log P.
After calculation of Rm and log k, a regression analysis allows to determine Rm° and log k° by extrapolation to a 0% methanol concentration.
Results of measurements obtained were :
Rm° = 1.25 (s.d.=0.09)
Log k° = 1.02 (s.d.=0.05)
This allows to calculate Log P according to the regression equations obtained from the other compounds :
Log P = (Rm° + 0.2426)/1.0988 = 1.36
Log P = (Log k° + 0.3112)/0.8478 = 1.57

Description of key information
The range of log Kow was from 1.32 to 2.53.
Guaiacol has a low potential of bioaccumulation.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Nine publications report logKow values on guaiacol. These range from 1.32 to 2.53.
One of them was chosen as a key study (Butte et al., 1982), since performed according to the OECD guideline 117 (HPLC method), with a range of results from 1.36 to 1.57 at 30°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
