Conclusions:
The value of log Kow of the test item at 20ºC is 0.67 ± 0.01 (pH 6.2 - 6.7).
Executive summary:

The determination of the test substance's partition coefficient 1-octanol/water was carried out according to OECD TG 107 and EU A.8, shake flask method, under GLP conditions. Water and 1 -octanol phases were mutually saturated and the amount of test item in each phase was determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Taking into account the solubility of the test substance in water and its solubility in 1-octanol, the partition coefficient was calculated. The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Pow) at 20.0 °C of the test item is 0.67 ± 0.01 (pH 6.2 - 6.7).
