Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
dissociation constant
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has no ionic structure
Endpoint:
dissociation constant
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
02 Feb 2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 112 (Dissociation Constants in Water)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
test concentration was too high, test solution contained undissolved test item
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks on result:
other: The conductivity caused from dissociated test item was too low to carry out the measurements of the dilution series necessary for calculation.

Results:

The conductivity caused from dissociated test item was too low to carry out the measurements of the dilution series necessary for calculation. Due to this fact the calculation of the dissociation contant was not possible. The study was aborted.

Description of key information

The substance has no ionic structure

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Attempts were made to experimentally determine possible dissociation constants of the substance according to OECD Guideline 112. However, due to very low conductivity, the conductometric method proved not sensitive enough to obtain reliable results. Therefore the test was aborted.

The test result is supported by theory, because based on evaluation of the chemical structure of the substance, dissociation within the pH range -0.2 to 14 is not expected.
