Conclusions:
The calculated water solubilities of the alkyl glucosides constituents of the substance at 25 °C were found in the range from 0.008 mg/L (C18-alkyl monoglucoside) to 2.06 mg/L (C16-alkyl triglucoside).
Executive summary:

The substance is composed of a number of components including starting components. It is therefore not appropriate to determine the water solubility by experimental methods. Instead, the water solubility was determined for individual reaction products of D-glucose and C16/C18 alkylalcohols by using a calculation method provided by the software ACD PERCEPTA. The calculated water solubilities at 25 °C relating to the individual C16-alkyl and C18-alkyl glucosides are as follows:

C16-alkyl monoglucoside: 0.08 mg/L (pH < 11.4)

C18-alkyl monoglucoside: 0.008 mg/L (pH < 11.4)

C16-alkyl diglucoside: 0.07 mg/L (pH < 10.7)

C18-alkyl diglucoside: 0.02 mg/L (pH < 11.1)

C16-alkyl triglucoside: 2.06 mg/L (pH < 10.4)

Conclusions:
The calculated water solubilities of the alkyl glucosides constituents of the substance at 25 °C were found in the range from 0.01106 mg/l (C18-alkyl diglucoside) to 85.86 mg/l (C16-alkyl triglucoside).
Executive summary:

The substance is composed of a number of components including starting components. It is therefore not appropriate to determine the water solubility by experimental methods. Instead, the water solubility was determined for individual reaction products of D-glucose and C16/C18 alkylalcohols by using a calculation method provided by the software EPI suite 4.1, WSKOW v.1.42. The calculated water solubilities at 25 °C relating to the individual C16-alkyl and C18-alkyl glucosides are as follows:

C16-alkyl monoglucoside: 0.2018 mg/L

C18-alkyl monoglucoside: 0.01954 mg/L

C16-alkyl diglucoside: 0.1164 mg/L

C18-alkyl diglucoside: 0.01106 mg/L

C16-alkyl triglucoside: 85.86 mg/L

C18-alkyl triglucoside: 8.076 mg/L

Description of key information

The substance "Glucose, reaction products with alcohols C16-18" is composed of more than 6 individual chemical components indcluding starting material. The solubility of the components is quite different and were found in the range from 0.01106 mg/l (C18-alkyl diglucoside) to 85.86 mg/l (C16-alkyl triglucoside). According to basic physical-chemical knowledge, the solubility of each component is dependent of the amount of the concentration of each other component. Or, with other words, the solubility of each component is dependent on the loading rate of the total substance.

Therefore a total solubility for this mixture of substances can neither be defined nor measured.

Instead of a measurement, QSAR-calculations with two different calculation programs were made as well as a litereature search for some substances (starting materials).

Only for the calculation of exposure assessment, a value for water solubility is needed. Though there is no physically definable value for this mixture, for the two main components “ether of cetyl or stearyl alcohol with glucose” a value is calculated as follows:

C16-alkyl monoglucoside: mean of the results from WSKOW (0.2018 mg/l) and ACD Percepta (0.08 mg/l) = 0.1409 mg/l

C18-alkyl monoglucoside: mean of the results from WSKOW (0.01954 mg/l) and ACD Percepta (0.008 mg/l) = 0.01377 mg/l

Square root of the sum of quadratic results = 0.142 mg/l

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
0.142 mg/L
