Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Published 1993
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Data was published in a peer reviewed publication.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Water and an organic were brought into equilibrium at a given temperature in a thermostat, and samples of each layer were removed with a syringe for analysis. To determine the amount of water in the organic layer sample, a weighed quantity of a solvent such as acetonitrile was added and the ratio of the water to the acetonitrile peak was measured with a Gow-Mac Series 550 thermal conductivity GC, a60ft by 2.2-mm-internal-diamet8rcolumn, Chromosorb 101 packing, and a Hewlett-Packard 3390A recorder-integrator.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: partially miscible (0.1 mass %)
Octanal was only partially miscible (0.1 mass %) over the temperature range from 0 to 90°C.
Executive summary:

Water and an organic were brought into equilibrium at a given temperature in a thermostat, and samples of each layer were removed with a syringe for analysis. Octanal was only partially miscible (0.1 mass %) over the temperature range from 0 to 90°C.

Description of key information

Octanal was only partially miscible (0.1 mass %) over the temperature range from 0 to 90°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
