Preliminary test according method A.6:


A preliminary test according method A.6 was started to determine approximate the amount of test item to be used in the main test. After the third step, 100 mg test item and 1 mL water, the test was stopped since no wetting of the sample with water was recognizable. An indication that confirms the water solubility in the order of phytosphingosine (< 10 mg/L).


 


Background information


The physical chemical data of phytosphingosine itself are estimated using the ACD/Percepta software release 14.51.0 (release 2020.2.0, build 3435). The temperature-sensitive parameters are calculated for 25 °C.


The water solubility depends on the pH value.


The solubility is calculated at pH ≤ 6.5 in the range of 100 mg/L up to 220 mg/L and above pH 7.7 below 10 mg/L.


Experimentally, the water solubility was determined in the range of 1.4 mg/L up to 3.8 mg/L (ECHA dossier). The pH of the water phases was between 6.4 and 8.5.


These results correlate to some extent with the estimated values.


The calculated concent ation of the protonated form (PS1, net charge +1), as it is present in PS sulphate, increases below pH 8 from approx. 49 % at pH 8 over approx. 90 % at pH 7 to >99 % at pH <6.


Therefore theoretically, as surfactant, PS sulphate should be infinitely soluble in acid solution. Practically, PS sulphate crystallizes immediately. This phenome is documented in the report “Determination of surface tension”.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The water solubility (availability) of Phytosphingosine sulphate is on average 3.2 mg/L ± 2.96 mg/L and thus in the range of Phytosphingosine.
