Result: Solubility in the range 31.6 to 34.0% w/w of solution at 20oC +/- 0.5oC.

 

Discussion

The EC A6 Method and OECD Method 105 were not applicable due to extremely high water solubility of the test material. It was therefore not possible to prepare samples at five times saturation level as specified in the guidelines. Therefore a number of individual samples were prepared at increasing nominal concentrations and the solubility determined by visual assessment of the resulting solutions.

 

 Although no excess test material was visible for Samples 3 to 6 in the definitive test, they formed an immobile paste which did not move or pour when held horizontally. The solubility range was therefore taken between the highest mobile concentration and the lowest stationary concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): very soluble (> 10000 mg/L)
The water solubility of the test material has been determined to be in the range 31.6 to 34.0% w/w of solution at 20 Deg C +/- 0.5 Deg C by visual assessment.
Executive summary:

In the range 31.6 to 34.0% w/w of solution at 20oC +/- 0.5oC, based on the flask method, Method A6 Water Solubility of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
