Performance of the Test

Calibration Procedure
A pH meter, fitted with a 25 °C temperature compensation probe, was confirmed for satisfactory calibration at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 10 before use, using certified reference buffer solutions.

Sample Preparation
An aliquot of test item (1.0068 g and 1.0044 g for determination A and B respectively) was added to 50 mL of high purity water and then diluted to 100 mL with high purity water. Finally the samples were shaken vigorously for 1 minute.
Each sample was then allowed to settle for a period of 1 minute and the pH value then determined.
The pH value was recorded from the pH meter, without stirring of the sample, after a period of 1 minute equilibration and a second reading was recorded after a period of 2 minutes equilibration. If the difference between the two readings did not exceed 0.1 pH units, the pH value was considered stable. If a pH drift greater than 0.1 pH units was observed between the two readings, a final pH value reading was taken after 10 minutes equilibration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The pH value of the test item, as a 1% w/v aqueous dispersion, has been determined to be 5.8 at 25 ºC. This value was the mean of duplicate sample preparations, with individual replicate pH values of 5.6 and 5.9 being obtained.
Executive summary:

The general physico-chemical properties of FRET 10-0367 have been determined.  

pH Value. The pH value of the test item, as a 1% w/v aqueous dispersion, has been determined to be 5.8 at 25 ºC. This value was the mean of duplicate sample preparations, with individual replicate pH values of 5.6 and 5.9 being obtained.  The determination was carried out using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method 122 of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 26 July 2013.
