Abstract The water solubilities, octanol:water partition coefficients, and vapour pressures of a variety of commercial phthalic acid esters (several of which were mixtures) were determined by the EPA-recommended procedure, partition method and HPLC method, and gas saturation method respectively. These procedures, which had been developed for pure compounds, were appropriate for the measurement of solubilities in excess of about 100 ug per litre, and of log Kow of up to 5. For vapour pressure measurements, the range was limited by such factors as time available for the experiment, and the effect of impurities. It was concluded that these methods should be adequate for the assessment of most industrial chemicals, and that mixtures whose components had similar physical properties could be treated essentially as pure compounds.
