Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): slightly soluble (0.1-100 mg/L)
Based on QSAR estimations the main components in Ceraphyl 41 appear to be slightly soluble, i.e. between 0.1 and 10 mg/L.

Description of key information

The solubility values in water based on QSAR calculations show that the C12 -C16 alkyl lactates are only slightly soluble in water and solubility decreases with increasing length of the carbon chain. Under experimental conditions the actual solubility of these lactate appear to be even lower. The key value is based on the QSAR value for the C12 alkyl lactate, which appears to be the highest.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:

6 mg/L

at the temperature of:

25 °C
