CALIBRATION
- Calibration samples were prepared from potassium hydrogen phthalate. Six concentration levels were tested: 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 mg/L, which corresponds about 1 – 48 mg carbon/L. The calibration graph was calculated applying linear regression.
- Intercept: 0.538
- Slope: 2.786
- Correlation Coefficient: 0.9999

ANALYSIS OF THE SAMPLES
- pH of the samples varied in the range of 6.38 - 6.89.
- Samples were analysed with TOC.
- Results of the determination of test material concentrations can be seen in Table 1.

CONCLUSION
- In conclusion, the water solubility of the test material was determined to be 1810 ± 63.8 mg carbon/L (95 % confidence interval) at 20 ± 1 °C using the shakeflask method for the performance of the main test.
- Based on the molecular composition of the test material (C7H6O2 C6H6O)x the carbon content of this polymer is 72.2 % of the molecular weight. Therefore the calculated water solubility is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L for test material.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the water solubility of the test material is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The water solubility of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU Method A.6, under GLP conditions, using the shakeflask method.

pH of the samples varied in the range of 6.38 - 6.89. Samples were analysed with TOC.

The water solubility of the test material was determined to be 1810 ± 63.8 mg carbon/L (95 % confidence interval) at 20 ± 1 °C using the shake-flask method for the performance of the main test.

Based on the molecular composition of the test material (C7H6O2 C6H6O)x the carbon content of this polymer is 72.2 % of the molecular weight. Therefore the calculated water solubility is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L for the test material.

Under the conditions of this study the water solubility of the test material is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L.

Additional information

The water solubility of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU Method A.6, under GLP conditions, using the shakeflask method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

pH of the samples varied in the range of 6.38 - 6.89, samples were analysed with TOC.

The water solubility of the test material was determined to be 1810 ± 63.8 mg carbon/L (95 % confidence interval) at 20 ± 1 °C using the shakeflask method for the performance of the main test.

Based on the molecular composition of the test material (C7H6O2 C6H6O)x the carbon content of this polymer is 72.2 % of the molecular weight. Therefore the calculated water solubility is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L for the test material.

Under the conditions of this study the water solubility of the test material is 2507 ± 88.4 mg/L.
