Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Remarks:
Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 2013
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Validated QSAR calculation method, using EPIWIN suite, model WSKOW v1.42. A validated QPRF is attached. The substance is recognised as part of the rulebase utilised by the EPI Suite model data set, and is in model Applicability Domain. Further details can be found within the appended report below or at http://www.epa.gov/oppt/exposure/pubs/episuite.htm. This system is recognised in ECHA Guidance document CHAPTER R.6 – QSARS AND GROUPING OF CHEMICALS, Pg 47
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for water solubility are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. It is unlikely that a study result would give anything other than a “less than” limit value. This endpoint is therefore characterized using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures that could be present within this UVCB substance. 70 proposed molecules are assessed, in order to provide a suitable range of likely values associated with the substance. Details on the WSKOWWIN programme are detailed below under "methods".
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: QSAR evaluation using US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ WSKOW v1.42 model
Water solubility:
>= 0 - <= 0.004 mg/L
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
7
Remarks on result:
other: Calculated range of values using EPIWIN WSKOW v1.42.
Details on results:
Results estimated using the US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ WSKOW v1.42 model indicate that the substance is insoluble, with water solubilities much lower than 0.1 mg/l. This is expected, given the nature of the substance as a white oil. Tabulated data of all isomers assessed and associated results is provided below for information.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): insoluble (< 0.1 mg/L)
Using the US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ WSKOW v1.42 model, the water solubility range is predicted to be 2.64E-27 to 0.004421 mg/l. This indicates that the substance is insoluble, with water solubilities much lower than 0.1 mg/l. This is expected, given the nature of the substance as a white oil.
Executive summary:

The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for water solubility are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. It is unlikely that a study result would give anything other than a “less than” the limit value of the technique used. This endpoint is therefore characterized using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures that could be present within this UVCB substance. 70 proposed molecules are assessed, in order to provide a suitable range of likely values associated with the substance.

Details on results:
Preliminary estimation of the water solubility
Given the nature of the test item, it could be assumed that the water solubility would be less than 1 g/l, and hence, no preliminary test was performed.

Determination of the water solubility
The initial amount of test added in each of the six tests vessels with 2000 ml deposed water item was 2 g. The concentration of the test item in each of the six test vessels was determined by GC-FID analysis after an incubation of 6, 11, 20, 25, 31 and 38 days at 30°C followed by a 24 h equilibration phase at 20°C. Additionally, a blank control (deionised water without test item) was measured after 6 days.Following concentrations were measured (Table – see Any other information)The measured concentrations in all of the 6 test vessels were below (or, in one vessel, equal to) the quantification limit of 0.1 mg/l. Subtracting the blank value to each measure would hence not change the results.Because the concentrations of at least the last 2 vessels do not differ by more than 15%, the test is valid according to OECD’s criteria.The water solubility of NovaSpec Base Oil is consequently <0.1 mg/l.

Validity of the test
The validity criterion as specified was met.

NB: all values reported here are below the limit of quantification (0.1 mg/l) and are given only out of transparency.

 

The concentrations measured in the bank and the flasks 1 and 2 are either not GLP compliant (bold; the GC-FID GLP-validation was delayed) or experimentally not valid (italics; after validation of the GC-FID, the samples were measured again, but as the vials were already punctured for the first measure, the extract was partially evaporated).

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: insoluble (< 0.1 mg/L)The water solubility of NovaSpec Base Oil is <0.1 mg/l.
Executive summary:

The study procedures described in this study plan meet the requirements of the following test guidelines:

• Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals – Water solubility, TG 105, adopted 27th July 1995.

• Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), A.6. Water solubility (O.J. L 142 of 31.5.2008).

 

The water solubility of NovaSpec Base Oil was investigated by dissolving the test item in six tightly sealed test vessels at 30°C for at least 6 days followed by an equilibration at 20°C for another 24 h, both by using a magnetic stirrer.

The initially added amount of test item was 1 g per litre deionised water. Samples were not filtrated before chemical analysis. The measured concentrations in all of the 6 test vessels were below (or, in one vessel, equal to) the quantification limit of 0.1mg/l.

Since the concentrations of at least the last 2 vessels do not differ by more than 15%, the test is valid, and the water solubility of NovaSpec Base Oil is consequently <0.1 mg/l.

Additional information

The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for water solubility are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. It is unlikely that a study result would give anything other than a “less than” limit value. This endpoint is therefore characterized using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures that could be present within this UVCB substance. 70 proposed molecules are assessed, in order to provide a suitable range of likely values associated with the substance.
