Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- The analyses of the concentrations of partitioned substances were made using a Cary Model 14 spectrophotometer.
For the determination, octanol saturated with distilled water and distilled water saturated with octanol were used. Usually 50-150 mL portions of octanol are used with 50-400 mL portions of water. The volume ratio of the two phases and the amount of sample were chosen so that, in most cases, the absorbance of a sample from the water layer after partitioning had a value between 0.2 and 0.9 using a 1 cm cell. Only the concentration of the sample in the water layer was determined, and that in the octanol was obtained by difference. The very small amount of octanal dissolved in the water was found to have no effect on the absorption curve at wavelengths higher than 220 mu.
The partition coefficient was calculated as P= C octanal/C water
Each determination was done at least in duplicate at two different volume ratios. - GLP compliance:
