Preliminary Test

The preliminary test at room temperature showed, that the water solubility of the test item was between 116.6 g/L and 233.2 g/L. Therefore, the flask method was performed.

Main Test (flask method)

For the main test three flasks were prepared with an amount of test item and water, and one flask only with water. After stirring and centrifugation the aqueous phases were measured by means of HPLC. The solution of each flask has been measured twice. The values represented in the table are rounded values. The calculation was carried out with the original not rounded values.
