Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2018-09-25
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
Determination of the partition coefficient by the HPLC method (EU method A.8, OECD test guideline 117) is not applicable since the test item is surface active (surface tension σ = 28.5 mN/m; Mack, 2018). Neither can the shake-flask method (EU method A.8, OECD test guideline 107) be used for surface-active substances. Therefore, an effort was made to determine the partition coefficient based on the individual solubilities of the test item in water and n-octanol. However, as the water solubility could not be determined (see IUCLID section 4.8), there is no basis for calculating the partition coefficient. Therefore, the experimental study for determining the partition coefficient was stopped as well. It is concluded that experimental determination of the partition coefficient by international test guidelines is technically not feasible.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Version / remarks:
May 2008
Principles of method if other than guideline:
QSAR prediction using KOWWIN v1.68 of EpiSuite v4.11. QSAR calculation is based on the fragment constant methodology.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
calculation method (fragments)
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Specific details on test material used for the study:
SMILES: CC(C)CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)OC(C)C(=O)OC(C)C(=O)O([Na])
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
3.98
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH not available in QSAR prediction.
Details on results:
see QMRF/QPRF
Conclusions:
The estimated log Pow of 3.98 for the test item is high and suggests hydrophobic properties associated with a potential for adsorption and bioaccumulation.
Executive summary:

The estimated log Pow of 3.98 for the test item is high and suggests hydrophobic properties associated with a potential for adsorption and bioaccumulation. However, the log Pow is below the screening criterion for bioaccumulation hence there is no need for classification and labelling.

Description of key information
