Reference
Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
29 October 1989 to 01 March 1990
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:
84/449/EWG, appendix V
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
flask method
Water solubility:
> 200 g/L
Temp.:
30 °C
pH:
1.9 - 2.4
Details on results:
- Quality of the water: after demineralisation the water was distilled
- Water volume added to the weighed amounts of the test substance: 50 ml
- Duration of equilibration at 20 °C after stirring different times at 30 °C: 24 h

After centrifugation of charges no 1 -3 no excess solid was existing. The “solutions” were very thick and viscous. From the weighed portions and the added water a water solubility of ≥ 700 g/L can be calculated.

Further experiments
Also amounts of 25.3 and 28.2 g of the test substance added to 25 ml water (stirring time: 20.5 h at 30 °C; 3 h at 20 °C) showed no sediments (solubility > 1000 g/L).

Further experiments with the following amounts were carried out:
4) 56.4 g test substance in 50 ml water
5) 56.7 g test substance in 50 ml water
6) 56.3 g test substance in 50 ml water
7) 60.4 g test substance in 50 ml water

Stirring time: 44 h at 30 °C, 3 h at 20 °C

After centrifugation undissolved particles could be recognized in the charges 5 and 7. It was impossible to stir these samples equally. The “solutions" were such high viscous that it was not possible to take aliquots using a pipette.

Due to the experiments described above the experiments for the determination of the water solubility were repeated with smaller amounts.

Water volume added to the weighed portions of the test substance: 50 ml
During of equilibration at 20 °C after stirring different times at 30 °C: 24 h


The results of the experiments 8-10 and 11-13 obtained by photometric determination are clearly below the results obtained from a direct calculation from the weighed portions, water volume and content of the main component even though there was no residue.

Due to the experimental difficulties (no residue in exp. 1-3, very thick and high viscous and dark solutions) as a final result a minimum water solubility > 200 g/L is given (refer exp. 11 - 13).

Conclusions:
The minimum water solubility of the test substance at 30 °C, applied to a content of 71.2 %, is > 200 g/L
Executive summary:

Study conducted to 84/449/EWG, appendix V, part A, in compliance with GLP using the "Flask Method" - determined following the preliminary visual experiments.

The minimum water solubility of the test substance at 30 °C, applied to a content of 71.2%, is > 200 g/L

Description of key information

Water solubility >200 g/L at 30°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The minimum water solubility cS of the test item at a temperature of 30 °C was determined (corrected for purity). The water solubility of the test substance was > 200 °C (cS > 200 g/L).
