Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results:
A first scan of the solutions was performed in the range 190 – 800 nm to choose the best wavelength peak for the quantitative measurements. In the case of test item: λ= 542.5 nm. Concentration of the n-octanol phase was very low: even applying direct measurement of the n-octanol phase, there was no evidence of migration.
Conclusions:
The average Pow measured is 0.01482 at pH of 4.62, the average log Pow measured is - 1.9256
Executive summary:

Method

Partition coefficient was determined by OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method).

n- octanol and double distilled water were pre saturated: enough quantity of double distilled water was mixed with n-octanol at room temperature and kept under agitation during 24 hours, then allowing phase separation. Analogous procedure was followed for n-octanol with addition of double distilled water.

Approximately exactly 0.1 g test sample was weighed and dissolved with double distilled water saturated in n-octanol to 250 ml in a volumetric flask (mother solution). pH was recorded.

Results

The average Pow measured is 0.01482 at pH of 4.62, the average log Pow measured is - 1.9256 at 20 °C.

Description of key information

logPow = -1.9256, at 20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
