water solubility

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

13 Sep 2017

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Remarks:

due to the expected very high solubility (miscibility with water) only the preliminary test was performed for confirmation

Results and discussion

Water solubility

Water solubility:

> 3 420 g/L

Remarks on result:

completely miscible

Remarks:

Any other information on results incl. tables

The first preliminary tests at room temperature with up to 0.6 mL water showed fume and a lot of bubbles; the test item seemed not to be dissolved. Additional tests with a higher amount of water were carried out, summarized in the table:

Total amount of test item / g	Volume of water / mL	Stirring time / min	Remark
2.7	5	-	dissolved
3.5	5	-	dissolved
4.2	5	-	dissolved
6.4	5	-	dissolved
8.8	5	-	dissolved
12.5	5	-	dissolved
17.1	5	-	dissolved

Thus, it can be estimated that the solubility of the test item in water is > 3420 g/L.
