Description of key information
log Kow [HMDTMP (4-7Na)]: <-4.7
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -4.7
Additional information
Log Kow values of -4.7 and -4.1 at 100 ppm and 1000 ppm respectively were reported for the parent acid, HMDTMP-H in a reliable study conducted according to generally accepted scientific principles comparable to an appropriate test guideline. The method has been adequately described in the report. The result is considered to be reliable and has been assigned as key study.
HMDTMP (4-7Na) is freely soluble in water and, therefore, the HMDTMP anion is fully dissociated from its potassium cations when in solution. The HMDTMP anion has eight P-OH groups that can be ionised. They lose a hydrogen to form a negatively charged group (P-O-). As the pH increases, the number of ionised groups increases. Under any given conditions, the degree of ionisation of the HDMTMP species is determined by the pH of the solution. At a specific pH, the degree of ionisation is the same regardless of whether the starting material was HMDTMP (4-7K), HMDTMP (4-7Na), HMDTMP-H or another salt of HMDTMP.
Therefore, the log Kow measured for HMDTMP-H is directly relevant for HMDTMP (4-7Na). The log Kow for an ionising substance will vary with pH as the ionised species will have a greater hydrophilicity and lower log Kow than the neutral species. The pH was not measured in the study with HMDTMP-H, however, a solution of HMDTMP-H in unbuffered water will have a very low pH. Therefore, the log Kow value relevant for the chemical safety assessment has been reported as <-4.7.
For further details of the speciation of HMDTMP see PFA 2020.
This value is supported by a predicted value of ≤-4 for HMDTMP-H using a relevant estimation method.
In a secondary source, a log Kow value of -4.4 was reported for HMDTMP-H in a summary of analytical data, full details are not available and the reliability is unassignable. The result is in agreement with the key study.
