Description of key information

3.1 mg/L at 20°C, Lange 2009, OECD 105 (column elution method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:

3.1 mg/L

at the temperature of:

20 °C

Additional information

The key study (Lange, 2009) reports a value of 3.1 mg/L at 20°C. This value is also consistent with a category QSPR for water solubility for the lower alkyl methacrylate category.
