- Although the method was not described in detail, the guideline was clearly stated: the test was carried out according to OECD guidelines. Kurume Laboratory is furthermore a well-known and trustworthy, respected laboratory. The signature and name of the author was not present, but this is because the report was an English translation of a Japanese study.

- Not indicated
- Reliability:

- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- The water solubility of the target substance, reaction mass of sodium methyl 2-sulphooctadecanoate and sodium 1-methoxy-1-oxohexadecane-2-sulphonate, was read-across from the two main components, C16MES and C18MES, and a similar substance, C14MES, as source substances. It can be concluded that the water solubility of the target substance can be covered by the key water solubility values of its two main components (i.e. 17 g/L and 0.0454 g/L).

Water solubilities (g/L) for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day were 0.0454, 0.0437 and 0.0458, resp.
Results of the measurements indicated nearly the same values for three days, so the water solubility was considered to be an equilibrium. Water solubility of C18MES indicated 0.0454g/L as the value of day 1st was considered to be the appropriate value.
Description of key information
Data for the main components:
C16MES (RA 223-676-0) The test substance has a water solubility of 17 g/L at 25 ºC.
C18MES (RA 223-770-1) The water solubility of the test material was 0.0454 g/L at 25 ºC .
Colloid Polym Sci 271:780-785 reports water solubilities at 25ºC of C16MES and C18MES to be approx. 3.7 g/L and 0.04 g/L, resp. (these are rough estimates as the method is based on visual interpretation)
Data for a similar substance with lower alkyl chain length:
C14MES (RA 223-675-5) The water solubility was measured to be 209 g/L at 25 ºC.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 17 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
- pH dependence is not relevant since at all relevant pH values (pH 2 -10), the test substance will be fully ionised.
- The big differences found in the solubility results between the different chain lengths are supported by the results reported in the Colloid Polym Sci 271:780-785 publication.
- The solubilities and CMC decreased with increasing hydrophobic chain length.
- The solubility of a reaction mass is determined based on the separate components which means that 2 separate values are obtained. As the 2 separate values are valid, no new study was conducted on the reaction mass.
Data for the main components:
C16MES (RA 223-676-0) The test substance has a water solubility of 17 g/L at 25 ºC.
C18MES (RA 223-770-1) The water solubility of the test material was 0.0454 g/L at 25 ºC .
Colloid Polym Sci 271:780-785 reports water solubilities at 25ºC of C16MES and C18MES to be approx. 3.7 g/L and 0.04 g/L, resp. (these are rough estimates as the method is based on visual interpretation)
Data for a similar substance with lower alkyl chain length:
C14MES (RA 223-675-5) The water solubility was measured to be 209 g/L at 25 ºC.
Key value for CSA of C16MES is 17000 mg/L
