- Conclusions:
- Ethyl (S)-lactate is miscible with water.
- Executive summary:
According to Clary, 8.5 mol of ethyl (S)-lactate (equivalent to 1,004 kg) are being solubilised in 1 L water. Ethyl (S)-lactate can therefore be regarded as miscible with water.

- Executive summary:
According to Holten, ethyl lactate is miscible with water.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Justification for type of information:
- For details and justification of read-across please refer to the report attached in section 13 of IUCLID.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Remarks on result:
- other: miscible
- Conclusions:
- According to Holten, ethyl lactate is miscible with water.
- Executive summary:
According to Holten, ethyl lactate is miscible with water. Due to the structural and chemical similarity, the water solubility of ethyl-(S)-lactate is being predicted by using the value of ethyl lactate.
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the report attached in section 13 of IUCLID.

Description of key information
According to Clary, 8.5 mol of Ethyl (S)-lactate (equivalent to 1,004 kg) are solubilised in 1 L water. Ethyl (S)-lactate can therefore be regarded as fully miscible with water.
For risk assessment with EUSES, the maximum value of 100 g/L is adopted.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 100 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
