- Version / remarks:
- Critical micelle concentration (CMC) method
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- For surface active substances the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) method is used as an alternative to the water solubility. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is determined by measuring the surface tension of test substance solutions at different test substance concentrations. For surface active substances which form micelles in solution, the surface tension decreases with increasing concentration until the CMC is reached. At concentrations above the CMC, the surface tension remains constant. The CMC is determined from a plot of the surface tension versus the logarithm of the test substance concentration.

- Remarks on result:
- other: The water solubility has been assessed on the basis of the critical micelle concentration
- Conclusions:
- The CMC was determined to be 13.1 g/L.
- Executive summary:
The water solubility of the test item has been investigated experimentally.
Initially the water solubility method (EC A.6/OECD 105) was considered. However, preliminary work showed that due to the high surface activity, the test item dispersed and it was not possible to clean up excess test item from the samples. Therefore, the water solubility has been assessed on the basis of the critical micelle concentration (CMC).
Below the CMC, a surfactant is considered to be thermodynamically soluble in the water; whereas above the CMC, the solubility of a surfactant in water has been exceeded and the excess surfactant aggregates to form micelles. These micelles have significantly less effect on the surface tension of a solution and are considered not to be in solution. Thus, the water solubility of a surfactant may be expressed in terms of the CMC. The critical micelle concentration of the test item was determined to be 13.1 g/L at 20.0 ±0.5 °C.

Description of key information
When assessing water solubility as part of method development it became apparent that the test item is highly surface active and this presents potential issues with water solubility determination.
Even applying a slower shaking speed during sample preparation or a slow stir type method samples with suspended/emulsified excess were found being problematic, as the test item is solid with a density greater than that of water, thus creating disturbance by undissolved test item. Therefore, the water solubility has been assessed on the basis of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) instead.
By this method, a solubility of 13.1 g/L was determined at 20 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 13.1 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
