Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
5.3
Temp.:
35 °C

pH not determined
Details on results:
The chromatogram of the test substance showed one peak at retention time 18.135 corresponding to a log Pow of 5.3.

Table 2. Results of chromatogram of test Substance:

 Terpinene Alpha  tR1  tR2  tRm  k  log k  log Pow
   18.132  18.138  18.135  9.5467  0.9799  5.3

tR1, tR2, tRm: retention times (1st measurement, 2nd measurement, average)

k=(tR/t0)-1: capacity factor, where t0: dead time i.e. retention time of thio urea.

The linear regression parameters calculated from the reference substances were: correlation coefficient r = 0.9968, a = 3.3791, b = 1.9681.

log Pow = a * log k + b

Conclusions:
The chromatogram shows one peak at retention time 18.135 minutes, corresponding to partition coefficient (log value) of 5.3. In addition, the partition co-efficient estimated with KOWWIN software is 4.75.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of alpha-Terpinene was determined following the OECD TG 117. The log Pow of alpha-Terpinene was determined to be 5.3.
