Reference
Endpoint:
water solubility
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
30 Apr 2018 to 09 Jun 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility)
Version / remarks:
July 27, 1995
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
The maximum difference between two measurements was 16% instead of the criterion of ≤ 15%. Evaluation: The test item probably hydrolyzes and therefore the results are accepted (slightly above 15%).

Preliminary Test

The content of test item dissolved in the water sample was 0.0342 g/L.

Main Study

The results for the samples taken at 24, 48 and 72 hours are given in Table 6.

The maximum difference between measurements was 41%, due to possible hydrolysis. Based on this, the water solubility of the test item was given as the mean value of the 24- and 48-hour measurements (maximum difference 16%). This is slightly above the criterion of 15% and therefore the results are accepted. 

A small response at the retention time of the test item was detected in the chromatogram of the blank water mixture. It was considered to derive from carry-over in the analytical system since similar responses were found in the analytical blanks.

Conclusions:
The slow-stirring flask method was applied for the determination of the water solubility of Hexyl Propionate.

The water solubility of the test item at 20°C was 0.0631 g/L.

The pH of the aqueous samples was 8.0 to 8.2
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 105) study, conducted with GLP certification, the water solubility of the test substance was found to be 0.0631 g/l at 20 °C.
