Conclusions:
The estimated log Pow of the test item based on the chromatograms is 3.00 ± 0.01 (with 95% confidence interval).
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of α,α’-Dichloro-p-xylene was estimated using a HPLC method.

The estimated log Pow of the test item based on the chromatograms is 3.00 ± 0.01 (with 95% confidence interval).

Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Remarks:

Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
25 January 2018
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Remarks:
QSAR prediction
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Data is QSAR data.
Type of method:
other: QSAR prediction
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
other:
Key result
Type:

Partition coefficient:
3.6
pH:

Remarks on result:
other: QSAR prediction
Conclusions:
The predicted partition coefficient following in-silico assessment using EPISuite was Log POW 3.60 at pH 7.4.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient has  been  assessed  by  assessment  of  the  structure  that follows the expect patterns based on mass considerations and structural make up compared  to  known  alerts contained in the EPISuite program. On the basis of the structure the substance, EPISuite has predicted the partition coefficient as Log POW 3.60 at pH 7.4.
