Additional information

The water solubility of partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 105 and EU-Method A.6 and using HPLC/MS/MS for quantification. HPLC/MS/MS proved to be a suitable analytical tool. Based on the results of the preliminary test, the flask method was used for the determination of the water solubility. In the main test, on the one hand the test item was dissolved in distilled water and the water solubility was measured at 10, 20, and 30°C without adjustment of the pH and on the other hand the water solubility of the test item was determined in buffered systems (pH 4, 7, and 9) at 20°C. The following results were obtained:


1. Solubility in water without pH adjustment (distilled water being in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon dioxide) at 10, 20, and 30°C: 2171 (pH 3.73, 10°C), 2244 (pH 3.86, 20°C), and 2359 mg/L (pH 3.83, 30°C).The water solubility was not found to be temperature dependent.


2. Solubility in buffered water at pH 4-9 and 20°C: 5.30 (pH 4.05), 3.39 (pH 7.08), and 19.4 mg/L (pH 9.11; at 20°C each). Based on the results in buffered systems it can be assumed that the water solubility is dependent on pH.


 


Supporting data on the structurally related source substance MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. are included to justify read-across: the water solubility of the source substance was estimated to be 17.6 mg/L at 19.7°C based on the results of turbidity measurements.
