Executive summary:

Water solubility for Hexadecane was calculated using the WSKOW method. With the program WSKOW v1.42 (part of US EPA EPI Suite v4.11), a water solubility of 0.0009 mg/L was determined.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
0.001 mg/L
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Water solubility for Hexadecane was calculated using the WSKOW method. With the program WSKOW v1.42 (part of US EPA EPI Suite v4.11), a water solubility of 0.0009 mg/L was determined.

Therefore the water solubility for Alkanes, C16 -47, branched and linear is < 0.0009 mg/L
