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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The registered substance is a natural complex substance, for which a partition coefficient derived for the whole substance will be meaningless.
Thus, the assessment is based on log Kow information for each constituent present in the registered substance. The partition coefficients of propanol is 0.25 and the partition coefficient of acetic acid is -0,17.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No study was conducted on the substance itself.
The test item is a natural complex substance. It is a mixture of several constituents, but 2 of them represent the identity of this substance.
Therefore a Weight of Evidence approach was considered and the logP of these 2 known constituents of the substance was gathered.
Literature provided data for 2 known constituents of the substance:
-acetic acid log Kow = -0.17
-propanol logKow = 0.25
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
