Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The measured log Pow of Dodecylphenol was determined to be 6.1 at 23 °C and a pH of 7.1.
Executive summary:

The log Pow of the test substance Dodecylphenol was determined according to OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 117 "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method", adopted 13 April 2004.

The average log Pow was determined to be 6.1 at 23 °C and a pH of 7.1. As reference substances were used: acetophenone, phenyl benzoate, diphenyl ether, dibenzyl, fluoranthene and triphenylamine with the respective log Pow: 1.7, 3.6, 4.2, 4.8, 5.1 and 5.7. The calibration showed a correlation coefficient of 0.993.
