Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Water solubility in reduced form ca 300 to 500 g/L at pH 13 under inert gas atmosphere, but solubility of the only stable form indigo is used for further calculations

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
0.05 mg/L
at the temperature of:
23 °C

Additional information

The test substance is synthesized and handled as an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (pH 13) only under inert gas atmosphere. It is instable in an aqueous phase at neutral pH or as solid material on air and oxidises rapidly to indigo CAS 482-89-3.

The water solubility of indigo lies below the limit of quantification of 0.05 mg/L
