Model(s) used: KOWWIN v1.68
The octanol-water partition coefficient of organic compounds is estimated starting from the chemical structure, which is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups). Coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. For the complete method's description see field 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'.
The datasets used for the model development (2447 molecules) and for the external validation (10946 molecules) are described in the field 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'.

Description of key information
The partition coefficient log Pow = 6.96 - 7.94
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The key value of partition coefficient is based on a weight of evidence using data for the substance itself and QSAR calculation for its constitutents (C16 and C18 fatty acids).
