Results

Preliminary test

The preliminary estimate of water solubility was 269 g/l.

Definitive test

The mean peak areas relating to the standard and sample solutions are shown in the following table:

Table 2.

Solution	Mean peak area
Standard 39.1 mg/l	5.030
Standard 39.7 mg/l	5.125
Sample 1A	3.591
Sample 1B	3.619
Sample 2A	3.563
Sample 2B	3.548
Standard 39.1 mg/l	5.056
Standard 39.7mg/l	5.126
Sample 3A	3.574
Sample 3B	3.538
Sample 4A	3.511
Sample 4B	3.574
Sample 5A	3.604
Sample 5B	3.604

The concentration (g/l) of test material in the sample solutions is shown in the following table:

Table 3.

Sample Number	Time shaken at ~ 30ºC (hours)	Time equilibrated at 20ºC (hours)	Concentration (g/l)	Solution pH
1	72	24 [10ºC]	269	5.9
2	72	24 [30ºC]	265	5.9
3	72	24	264	5.9
4	48	24	263	5.9
5	24	24	268	6.0

Mean result (at 20.0±0.5°C): 265 g/l.

Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 65 mg/l. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 1.000 being obtained.

              

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: very soluble (> 10000 mg/L)
The water solubility of the test material has been determined to be 265 g/l of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.
The effect of temperature over the range 10 to 30°C has been considered not to have had a significant influence on the solubility of the test material (range 265 to 269 g/l). This study is considerd to be acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for this endpoint. This study was performed in accordance with an accepted method (EU Method A.6) and under the conditions of GLP and is considered to be appropriate and reliable for use as a key study in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH). No further testing is required.
