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:
The substance is not fully compliant with the applicability domain of the model. However, this calculation is used in a weight of evidence approach, in accordance to the REACh Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI section 1.2. It is adequately documented and justified: the prediction is evaluated on the basis of the model performance on supporting substances from the model's dataset. Supporting substances are predicted reasonably well and show a clear trend between the size (represented by molecular weight) and experimental and predicted Koc values.

Description of key information

Log Koc > 3 (QSAR, EPI Suite KOCWIN v2.01)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Information on the adsorption potential of Decanoic acid, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS No. 68583-51-7) was generated using two QSAR models (MCI and log Pow - regression based methods) implemented within the EPI Suite KOCWIN v2.01. Since the substance is of UVCB nature, two representative constituents were selected for QSAR estimations: propane-1,2-diyl dioctanoate and propane-1,2-diyl didecanoate.

Predicted log Koc values of propane-1,2-diyl dioctanoate were 3.79 and 4.51, based on MCI and log Kow-based models, respectively, and the constituent falls into the applicability domain of the models.

Predicted log Koc values for propane-1,2-diyl didecanoate were 4.83 and 5.60, based on MCI and log Kow-based models, respectively and the constituent falls outside the applicability domain of the models due to its high log Kow. However, the predictions of both models were supported by fatty acid esters from the models’ dataset, retrieved by OECD QSAR Toolbox v4.5. Despite the low structural similarity to the target constituents, both models predict these fatty acid esters reasonably well and there is a clear trend between the size, in terms of molecular weight, and experimental and predicted Koc values.

In conclusion, the results for all constituents can be used in a weight of evidence approach and the log Koc of the substance Decanoic acid, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS No. 68583-51-7) can be estimated to range between 3.79 and 5.60.
