- Details on results:
- After the stirring period, the test sample was clear and no undissolved test substance was observed. From this, it was concluded that the n-octanol solubility of C18-unsatd, diethanolamide at 20°C was > 1x103 g/L.
The Pow, calculated as the quotient of the n-octanol- and critical micelle concentration, is > 1x106. It corresponds with a log Pow value of > 6. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the partition coefficient of the test substance was determined to be 1x10E6 at 20°C. This corresponds to a log Pow value of >6.
- Executive summary:

Under the conditions of the study, the partition coefficient was determined to be 1x10E6 at 20°C. This corresponds to a log Pow value of >6 (Baltussen, 2017).

- The logarithmic octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) was estimated by using KOWWIN v1.68 program of EPIWEB v 4.1.
Initially, using the KOWWIN v1.68 program, the values of the Kow was calculated for the individual components. The value of the Kow for amides, C18 (unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) was finally calculated on a weighted-average basis using the mole fractions of the individual components. - Partition coefficient type:

Description of key information
A partition coefficient (log Kow) > 6 was determined based on the n-octanol solubility and the critical micelle concentration according to EU Method A.8 and US Guideline EPA 830.7570 (Baltussen, 2017). A log Kow of 5.51 was estimated using the KOWWIN v 1.68 program of EPIWEB v 4.1 (US EPA, 2012). Unlike the experimental measurement technique, which is confounded by surface-activity or presence of other co-solutes, the calculation method generates a theoretical value of log Kow for single representative structures. Considering the potential errors associated with the experimental measurement and estimation in this case, the calculated value of log Kow has been judged to provide the most accurate and reliable value and will therefore be further used in this chemical safety assessment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 5.51
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
