Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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.
