> 1 000 g/L

Conc. based on:

test mat.

Temp.:

20 °C

pH:

Details on results:

After 24 hour waiting period the Test Item was completely dissolved in each ratio. The pH value at the Ultrapure Water : Test Item = 5 : 5 ratio was determined to be: 0.57.

Water solubility test after 10 minutes of shaking

Ultrapure Water : Test Item ratio	Observation
5 : 1	clear liquid phase
5 : 2	precipitation of test item
5 : 3	precipitation of test item
5 : 4	precipitation of test item
5 : 5	precipitation of test item

Water solubility test after 24 hours waiting period

Ultrapure Water : Test Item ratio	Observation
5 : 2	clear liquid phase
5 : 3	clear liquid phase
5 : 4	clear liquid phase
5 : 5	clear liquid phase with ca. 3-4 millimeters of foam at the top of the solution

Conclusions:

In conclusion, the water solubility of the test item was determined to be > 1000 g/L at room temperature based on the Preliminary Test (OECD 105).

Executive summary:

The water solubility of the test item was determined according to OECD 105, Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 method A.6 and OPPTS 830.7840 using the OECD Preliminary test. The test item was mixed with ultrapure water in ratios from 5:1 to 5:5 (5 mL water and 1 to 5 mg test item). After the addition of test substance, the mixtures were shaken for 10 minutes. After shaking, the solutions were checked visually. In the case of Ultrapure Water : Test Item  = 5 : 1 ratio the Test Item was completely dissolved. In the other ratios undissolved test item particles were observed, therefore, the solutions were allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature. After 24 hour waiting period the Test Item was completely dissolved in each ratio. The pH value at the Ultrapure Water : Test Item = 5 : 5 ratio was determined to be: 0.57. In conclusion, the water solubility of the test substance was determined to be >1000 g/L at 20 °C ± 1 °C (pH = 0.57).

Description of key information

The water solubility of the test item was determined to be > 1000 g/L at room temperature based on the Preliminary Test (OECD 105).

Additional information

The water solubility of the test item was determined according to OECD 105, Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 method A.6 and OPPTS 830.7840 using the OECD Preliminary test (reference 4.8-1). The test item was mixed with ultrapure water in ratios from 5:1 to 5:5 (5 mL water and 1 to 5 mg test item). After the addition of test substance, the mixtures were shaken for 10 minutes. After shaking, the solutions were checked visually. In the case of Ultrapure Water : Test Item  = 5 : 1 ratio the Test Item was completely dissolved. In the other ratios undissolved test item particles were observed, therefore, the solutions were allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature. After 24 hour waiting period the Test Item was completely dissolved in each ratio. The pH value at the Ultrapure Water : Test Item = 5 : 5 ratio was determined to be: 0.57. In conclusion, the water solubility of the test substance was determined to be >1000 g/L at 20 °C ± 1 °C (pH <0.57).
