Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Partition coefficient:
12.3
Remarks on result:
other: calculated value for the main component (US EPA KOWWIN QSAR model v1.68, 2010)
Details on results:
There were no significant peaks present in the sample chromatogram before the retention time of DDT, the highest available reference standard with a known log10Pow value of 6.2. The components of the reference mixture eluted in the order of their known log10Pow values, the earliest eluting component being the deadtime standard, formamide. It was thus considered either that the method was inapplicable due to the components of the test substance being too insoluble for detection, or that any soluble components of the test substance eluted after DDT (or did not elute under the conditions of the analysis). The test substance components are, therefore, reported as having log10Pow values in excess of 6.
This conclusion is consistent with the value of log10Pow for representative components of the test material estimated by a calculation method using a computer program (KOWWIN, Version 1.68, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2000). A log10Pow of 12.3 was calculated for the main component of the test material. Similar values (12.1-13.4) were calculated for the other components.

Description of key information

Log Pow  >6 at 25°C (OECD 117, EU A8)
Log Pow = 12.3 (KOWWIN v1.68, 2010)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
12.3

Additional information

Experimental determination of Log Pow with the read-across source substance resulted in a value > 6. Computer modelling (US EPA KOWWIN QSAR model v1.68, 2010) indicated a Log Pow of 12.3 for the main component of the read-across source substance.

The same result is assumed for the read-across target substance WS406663 based on the close chemical similarity between the two substances.
