Results and discussion
Water solubility
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Remarks:
- Direct measurement of the water solubility by OECD Test Guideline 105 was not possible due to surfactant properties of the Test Item. The Test Item is not stable in water but forms micelle structures resulting in suspension. An exemption from OECD 105 is requested.
- Details on results:
- In the preliminary test, at 1 g/L the Test Item solution was clear, and had residual liquid on the surface. The definitive test was setup at the 1 g/L level.
The definitive test was started and a sample was taken at the 6 day mark. The Test Item had formed a cloudy suspension in water. It was stable after being left to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. The suspension was filtered through Whatman 40 filter paper. The filter removed some of the Test Item but the solution was still slightly cloudy. The solution exhibited surface foaming when shaken.
No chemical instability was observed during the test, however surfactant properties were observed and confirmed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Direct measurement of the water solubility by OECD Test Guideline 105 was not possible due to surfactant properties of the Test Item. The Test Item is not stable in water but forms micelle structures resulting in suspension. An exemption from OECD 105 is requested.
- Executive summary:
The solubility of BT4 was tested according to OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals. Test No. 105: Water Solubility, using the flask method.
A preliminary test was conducted in order to approximate the amount of Test Item that would dissolve in water and the time required to reach saturation.
At 1 g/L the Test Item solution was clear, and had residual liquid on the surface. The definitive test was setup at the 1 g/L level.
The definitive test was started and a sample was taken at the 6 day mark. The Test Item had formed a cloudy suspension in water. It was stable after being left to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. The suspension was filtered through Whatman 40 filter paper. The filter removed some of the Test Item but the solution was still slightly cloudy. The solution exhibited surface foaming when shaken.
No chemical instability was observed during the test, however surfactant properties were observed and confirmed.
The Test Item exhibits surfactant qualities (foaming, stable cloudy solution, cloudiness passes through a filter).
Direct measurement of the water solubility by OECD Test Guideline 105 was not possible due to surfactant properties of the Test Item. The Test Item is not stable in water but forms micelle structures resulting in suspension. An exemption from OECD 105 is requested.
