Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information

Introduction
No determination was possible according to Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Methods 107 and/or 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, due to the following reasons:
An assessment of the emulsification properties of the test item was carried out with the test item prepared in water saturated n-octanol and shaken with an equal amount of n-octanol saturated water. Observations after this test showed that the two immiscible phases emulsified easily; additionally, after 1 hour standing, there were still three layers visible, the middle layer being a white emulsion. It was therefore considered that as the test item also gave a positive surface-active result in the Surface Tension test (See Section 7), the test item can be considered to be surface-active. Surface-active items are not suitable for determination by the flask-shake method or the HPLC method.
Estimation using the ratio of the solubility of the test item in n-octanol and water would also be unreliable due to the possible self-aggregation properties shown by surface-active substances.

Introduction

No determination was possible according to Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Methods 107 and/or 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, due to the following reasons:

  • An assessment of the emulsification properties of the test item was carried out with the test item prepared in water saturated n-octanol and shaken with an equal amount of n-octanol saturated water. Observations after this test showed that the two immiscible phases emulsified easily; additionally, after 1 hour standing, there were still three layers visible, the middle layer being a white emulsion. It was therefore considered that as the test item also gave a positive surface-active result in the Surface Tension test (See Section 7.6 Surface Tension Harlan Laboratories study number 41003463), the test item can be considered to be surface-active. Surface-active items are not suitable for determination by the flask-shake method or the HPLC method.
  • Estimation using the ratio of the solubility of the test item in n-octanol and water would also be unreliable due to the possible self-aggregation properties shown by surface-active substances.

Method

Therefore, the partition coefficient was estimated using the computer-based specialist estimation software, KOWWIN, version 1.67a (Sept 2008), © 2000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The substance was modelled without the zinc atom as the per EPIsuite recommendations.

Conclusion

Using a computer-based atom fragment contribution method, KOWWIN, version 1.67a, © 2000 US Environmental Protection Agency, the partition coefficient (log10 Pow) has been estimated 8.87.
