Log Pow = 2.64 * log k' + 2.04

r2 = 0.96

Conclusions:
The substance has low potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow <4).
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was measured under GLP according to the OECD 117/EU A8 guideline, HPLC method.

The system was adequately calibrated with 6 reference substances, and the test substance was interpolated from the regression.

Partition coefficient (log Kow) = 2.94 at 21°C.

Description of key information

The substance has low potential to bioaccumulate in the environment, according to CLP classification criteria for aquatic chronic toxicity (log Kow <4).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
2.94
