Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2021-06-18
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.6 (Water Solubility)
- Version / remarks:
- 2014
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- A water solubility test following the OECD 105 and EC A.6. guidelines was technically not feasible because no saturated solution could be prepared due to the very high water solubility of the test item.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility)
- Version / remarks:
- 1995
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- A water solubility test following the OECD 105 and EC A.6. guidelines was technically not feasible because no saturated solution could be prepared due to the very high water solubility of the test item.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- other: miscibility test
- Key result
- pH:
- >= 2.23 - <= 3.59
- Remarks on result:
- completely miscible
- Conclusions:
- The test item is completely miscible with water.
- Executive summary:
An experimental study was conducted according to OECD Test guideline 105 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.6. The water solubility test following the guidelines was technically not feasible because no saturated solution could be prepared due to the very high water solubility of the test item. In conclusion the test item is completely miscible in water.
Reference
In conclusion, Methyl vinyl glycolate (MVG) is miscible in water. For the details see Table 1.
Table 1 Water solubility test
Test Item / g | Water / g | Observation | pH value |
1.13 | 9.11 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 3.59 |
1.12 | 9.06 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 3.57 |
1.10 | 1.00 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 2.97 |
1.10 | 1.00 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 2.99 |
4.91 | 0.50 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 2.24 |
4.91 | 0.50 | clear, homogeneous, single-phase liquid | 2.23 |
Description of key information
The test item is completely miscible with water. For risk assessment purposes the upper limit of EUSES = 100000 mg/L will be used.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 100 000 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
An experimental study was conducted according to OECD Test guideline 105 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.6. The water solubility test following the guidelines was technically not feasible because no saturated solution could be prepared due to the very high water solubility of the test item. The test item was mixed with water in the ratios 1:9, 1:1 and 9:1 and the pH was determined. In conclusion the test item is completely miscible in water.
