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.

Description of key information

All lithium borate substances are expected to be soluble in water and should exhibit essentially the same water solubility value since, in a water environment, all lithium borate salts will exist in equilibrium with boric acid.

In an experimental study on dilithium tetraborate, a water solubility value of 141.2 g/L was reported which indicates that the substance is very soluble in water.  This result is consistent with the data reported in the CRC Handbook for lithium metaborate which states that the substance is very soluble in water.  Read-across to the result for dilithium tetraborate is therefore proposed for this endpoint. A water solubility value of 141.2 g/L is therefore reported for lithium metaborate.
