The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:

a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;

b) the (Q)SAR model isapplicable to thequery chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;

c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;

d) the (Q)SAR model isrelevant for theregulatory purpose.

 

For assessment and jsutification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Note: An estimated coefficient (**) used.

 

Conclusions:

Using KOWWIN v1.68 the logPow of the test item was calculated to be 6.0516 at 25 °C. The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model due to fast hydrolysis of the substance. Thus the estimation may be less accurate.

Executive summary:

The logPow was calculated using KOWWIN v1.68 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency.

Using KOWWIN v1.68 the log Kow of the test item was calculated to be 6.0516 at 25 °C (EPI Suite, 2014).

Description of key information

The result was determined by QSAR estimation with the programme EPIWIN using KOWWIN v1.68 that is recommended in the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (2008), Chapter R.7.1.7.3, Table R.7.1-21.The log Kow of TODI was calculated to be 6.0516. Additionally, the log KOW of the degradation product TODA was calculated to be 3.0176 (KOWWIN v1.68 estimate) or 2.34 (expert database match) using KOWWIN of EPISuite.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):

6.052

at the temperature of:

25 °C

Additional information

An experimental determination of the partition coefficient of TODI is technically not feasible, because of the very fast hydrolysis of the substance (see IUCLID Section 5.1.2, Hydrolysis as a function of pH).

The result was determined by QSAR estimation with the programme EPIWIN using KOWWIN v1.68 that is recommended in the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (2008), Chapter R.7.1.7.3, Table R.7.1-21.The log Kow of TODI was calculated to be 6.0516. Additionally, the log KOW of the degradation product TODA was calculated to be 3.0176 (KOWWIN v1.68 estimate) or 2.34 (expert database match) using KOWWIN of EPISuite.

By applying published data of a supporting substance ( methylenediphenyl diisocyanate) the log Pow of TODI can be estimated to be in a range similar to the supporting substance, because of the analogy of their molecular structures. The log Pow of the supporting substance (Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, CAS 26447-40-5, EINECS 247-714-0) was found to be 4.5 measured by HPLC, which is in quite good accordance with the calculated value. Additionally the partition coefficient of TODI's hydrolysis degradation product TODA (3,3'-Dimethylbenzidine) was reported to be 2.34.
