- Conclusions:
- Under study conditions, the test substance were found to have log10 Pow values of 4.9->6.2 at pH 5 and >6.2 at pH 7 & 9 at 25°C.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance, C12 -14 ADEBAC (active not specified), using the HPLC method, according to the OECD Guideline 117 and EU Method A.8, in compliance with GLP. The effect of pH on the partitioning behavior of the test substance was difficult to predict, therefore the test was conducted over a range of pH values (5, 7 and 9). Under study conditions, the four primary components of test substance (i.e., the isomers of the C12 -14 alkyl chains of ADEBAC) were found to have log10Powvalues of 4.9, 5.2, 6.1 and >6.2 at pH 5; all >6.2 at pH 7; all >6.2 at pH 9 at 25°C (Sydney 2002).

Results
pH 5 test
Primary components 1, 2 and 3 were found to have log10Pow values of 4.9, 5.2 and 6.1 respectively. Primary component 4 did not elute before DDT, yielding a log10Pow value of greater than 6.2.
pH 7 and pH 9 tests
Primary components were found to elute before DDT, yielding log10Pow values of greater than 6.2.
Description of key information
Partition coefficient of the test substance was determined using the HPLC method, according to the OECD Guideline 117 and EU Method A.8 (Sydney, 2002) as well based on individual solubility in n-octanol and water according to the calculation method specified in OECD Guideline 107 and EU A.8 for surface active agents (Lonza, 2018).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 2.48
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Partition coefficient based on HPLC method: 4.9->6.2 at pH 5 and >6.2 at pH 7 & 9 at 25°C; HPLC method is not applicable for surfactants;
Partition coefficient (calculated based on solubility ratio in n-octanol and water/CMC): 2.48 at 20-25 °C;
As the test substance is a surfactant, in line with the ECHA R.7a Guidance, the more reliable log Kow calculated based on solubility ratio, has been taken forward for hazard/risk assessment.
