Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: Furfural Español, SA.
Key result
Water solubility:
0.4 g/L
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH not specified.
Water solubility:
650 g/L
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Temp.:
80 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH not specified.
Conclusions:
The solubility of the test item in water at 20ºC was found to be 0.4 g/L.
Executive summary:

The determination of the water solubility of the test item, using the shake flask method, was carried out by a method similar to OECD 105 (EU A.6, flask method). Successive additions of test item to 100 mL of solvent were performed, and the absorbance of these solutions was measured with a spectrophotometer at 660 nm at different temperatures and times. The final point was considered to be when the absorbance dropped under 0.010 UA. Under test conditions, the solubility of the test item at 20 ºC in water was determined to be 0.4 g/L.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence. Based on the available data, the solubility of the test item at 20ºC was determined to be 0.4 g/L (worst case).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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