Description of key information
The partition coefficient of 1,6-dichlorohexane was determined to be log Pow 3.50 at 25°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 3.5
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient octanol water of the test substance. Therefore a defined amount of 1.6 dichlorohexane was weight into 25 mL n-octanol and was equilibrated with 25 mL ultra-pure water. The phases were separated and the water phase was extracted with chloroform and the concentration of 1.6 dichlorohexan was determined using GC-FID method. The determination was done in triplicate. The log Pow was determined to be 3.50 at 25 °C.
In addition in accordance with R.7.1.8.4 of guidance on IR/CSA Chapter R.7A and in compliance with section 1.3 Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 the partition coefficient of 1,6-dichlorohexane was calculated using QSAR methods. The partition coefficient octanol-water was calculated with ACD Labs software to be 3.557 at 25 °C. Using KOWWIN software the partition coefficient octanol-water was calculated to be log Pow = 3.8. In conclusion the experimental determined value was support by the QSAR estimation. Thus, the experimental value was chosen as key value for risk assessment.
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).
