REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that the source and the target substance have very similar physicochemical and (eco)toxicological properties because their chemical structures are nearly identical. An analogue approach has thus been employed. The target substance is the meta-isomer of the dye Reactive Blue 049, where the sulphonate group is bound at the meta-position of the aminobenzene moiety. The source chemical is the reaction mass of both the meta-isomer and the para-isomer of Reactive Blue 049.
The presence of sulphonate groups make both dyes highly water soluble and therefore less critical for human health and environmental issues. Based on their chemical similarity, similar properties are expected in both humans and the environment.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S)
Source: Reactive Blue 49 meta/para (CAS# 72214-18-7 / EC# 276-481-8)
Target: Reactive Blue 49 meta (CAS# 72927-99-2 / EC# 277-040-2)

Description of key information

The surface tension was determined to be 52.661 mN/m at ca. 20°C. Hence the test material has surface active properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
52.661
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
0.25

Additional information

The determination of the surface tension of the source substance was based on OECD Guideline No. 115. The test item was measured using a 0.25 % (w/w) solution. The surface tension was determined to be 52.661 mN/m at ca. 20 °C.

The structurally related target substance will have a similar surface tension and will also show surface-active properties.
