Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
1
Temp.:
25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: no information on pH provided
Details on results:
A calibration plot of Log k versus Log Pow was constructed for the reference standards. The logarithm of the capacity factor for the test substance was then calculated and the Log Pow value was determined by interpolation. The substance was thus determined to have a Log Pow value of 1.0 (equivalent to a Pow value of 10).

Linear regression (based on mean of standard runs A and B): Log Pow = 3.68 Log k + 3.27

Conclusions:
The test material was found to have a Log Pow of 1.0
Executive summary:

The octanol-water partition coefficient was determined in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117 and EU Method A.8 following the HPLC method.

Under the conditions of the study, the Log Pow of the substance was determined to be 1.0 at 25°C.
