water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2-3 Dec 2014

no
Type of method:
flask method
Water solubility:
> 600 g/L
Temp.:
20 °C
pH:
4.6
Details on results:
pH given for a 10% solution of the test item in water

The following amounts of the freeze-dry test item were added to 2 g of water:

 F  3.0  Gel, white

While being added to the water, solutions with increasing viscosity were being formed, finally resulting in a paste.

With 3 g of test item (freeze dry) being mixed into 2 g of water, a pastel with a total weight of 5 g was formed. This is equivalent to 60% (w/w) of test item in solution/pastel.

As the density of water will significantly increase with addition of the test item, it can be concluded that water solubility is about 600 g/L, resulting in a paste.

Due to the fact that the formation of the paste is a continuous process and no discrete point can be identified at which dissolution in water switches to gelling, the water solubility can be approximated to > 600 g/L.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: miscible

Description of key information

> 600 g/L at 20 °C, pH = 4.6

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
600 g/L
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The water solubility of the substance was determined according to OECD Guideline 105 (flask method). Paste formation at concentrations > 600 g/L was observed.
