Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
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
The water solubility of Methyl isothiocyanate was estimated in GLP study (OECD 105) at 7940 mg/L at 20°C. Consequently Methyl isothiocyanate is considered to be soluble in water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 7 940 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The water solubility of Methyl isothiocyanate was estimated in several publications:
- 7600 mg/L at 20°C.
- 8230 mg/L at 20°C
- 7311 mg/L at 20°C
- 7600 mg/L at 20°C
- 8610 mg/L at 25°C
No data concerning the method used for the estimation of water solubility is available; consequently these results should be considered with care. Nevertheless all these data comes to comfort the fact that Methyl isothiocyanate can considered as soluble in water.
However in order to get a relevant data for the water solubility of MITC, at test was carried out:the water solubility of Methyl isothiocyanate was estimated in GLP study (OECD 105) at 7940 mg/l at 20°C.During the analysis, the temperature was 19.9 °C +/- 0.9°C and the mean value of pH was 7.06.
Consequently Methyl isothiocyanate is considered to be soluble in water.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
