Monuron is sparingly soluble in petroleum oils and polar organic solvents such as acetone (Martin, 1971). Monuron is moderately soluble in methanol, ethanol and acetone. It is practically insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents (Merck, 1968).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Monuron is moderately soluble in methanol, ethanol and acetone. It is practically insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents.
Executive summary:

Monuron is sparingly soluble in petroleum oils and polar organic solvents such as acetone (Martin, 1971). Monuron is moderately soluble in methanol, ethanol and acetone. It is practically insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents (Merck, 1968).

Since this information is obtained form a peer reviewed document from an international accepted authority the result is considered reliable with restrictions for the further assessment.
