Mean Log10 Pow: In the range <0.3 to >6.5

Partition coefficient: In the range <2.00 to >3.16 x 106

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be in the range less than 2.00 to greater than 3.16x10^6, log10 Pow <0.3 to >6.5.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance (PR-4758) was measured by the HPLC method in accordance with international guidelines in a GLP testing laboratory. The log10 Pow ranges for approximate percentage composition of test material have been reported as follows:

Percentage of Test Item (%) Log10Pow
18 <0.3
25 0.3 to 2.49
21 3.29 to 6.22
37 >6.5

58% of the UVCB substance was found to have a log10 Pow >3.

Description of key information

Log Pow = < 0.3 - > 6.5.  The range is due to this substance being a UVCB, 58 % of the substance has a log Pow > 3; OECD guideline 117 (1995); Butler & White (2010).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):

25 °C

Additional information

One key study exists which estimates the n-octanol/water partition coefficient using the HPLC screening method (OECD 117). The substance is a UVCB and the result of the study provide a range of partition coefficients (log Kow) from <0.3 to >6.5. In order to incorporate the range of log Kow values in the asessment a weighted-average has been calculated, this represents a gross substance, realistic exposure for modelling purposes. Where a range of values has been given the highest value of the range has been used in the calculation to ensure a worst-case assessment (i.e in a range of 0.4 -2.49, 2.49 would be used). The weighted-average log Kow used for the CSA was calculated to be 4.3877.
