Qualifier:

Guideline:

EU Method A.6 (Water Solubility)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The solubility of β-Alanine, N-coco alkyl derivatives was assessed by agitating 100mg of sample in one litre of deionised water (20°C, pH adjusted) for one hour. After agitation, the sample was allowed to settle for five minutes before being assessed for clarity of the liquid and any undissolved matter. The deionised water was pre-adjusted to pH 1.5, 5.0, 7.0 or 9.0 using either sulphuric acid or sodium hydroxide.

Below is a more in depth results table with a breakdown of the composition. The soluble components were analysed after filtration to the point the liquid was clear, the suspension components were analysed after filtration to remove product which had obviously stayed separate to the aqueous layer (either layered to the top of the liquid or stayed clumped together and dropped to the bottom).

Conclusions:

Analysis by HPLC of the doubly filtered suspension of this substance in water, giving rise to a clear solution at various pH values between 1.5 and 9.0 was carried out.
A detailed breakdown of the various components of this UVCB substance have been reported, but the overall solubility determination has shown that there was very little difference between the pH values tested and the average water solubility result was calculated to be 260.8 mg/l

Description of key information

Analysis by HPLC of the doubly filtered suspension of this substance in water, giving rise to a clear solution at various pH values between 1.5 and 9.0 was carried out.

A detailed breakdown of the various components of this UVCB substance have been reported, but the overall solubility determination has shown that there was very little difference between the pH values tested and the average water solubility result was calculated to be 260.8 mg/l.

The value obtained by experimental means was significantly higher than the EpiSuite calculation made on the major component of the UVCB composition, which was only 2 mg/l.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:

260.8 mg/L
