PREPARATION OF TEST SOLUTIONS
0.2400 - 0.2500 g of the test substance was accurately weighed, dissolved in and diluted to 500.0 ml with water. 10.0 ml of this solution were diluted to 100.0 ml with buffer solutions (pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0) for the preliminary test.
PRELIMINARY STUDY
The hydrolysis was carried out in a thermostatistically controlled water bath at 50 °C. - Duration:

- Negative controls:
- no
- Preliminary study:
- Hydrolysis at pH 7 after 5 days at 50 °C is about 10 %. The substance has a half-life time about one year at 25 °C pH 7.
Degree of hydrolysis of test item at pH 4 and pH 9 after 5 days at 50 °C resulted to be 13.7 % and 36.4 %, respectively. The substance has a half-life time shorter than one year and longer than one day at 25 °C at pH 4 and 9.
Because the substance consists of a very complex mixture of structures, the results of a quantitative evaluation are widely scattered. Changes of the pH-values can affect the different components in various ways, not only by hydrolysis of (a) component (s) but for example also by influencing a protonation equilibrium which can cause changes of the extinction coefficient at a defined wave length. - Transformation products:
- not measured
- pH:
- 7
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Remarks on result:
- hydrolytically stable based on preliminary test
- Conclusions:
- Hydrolysis at pH 7 after 5 days at 50 °C is about 10 %.; the substance has a half-life time about one year at 25 °C pH 7. The substance has a half-life time shorter than one year and longer than one day at 25 °C at pH 4 and 9.
- Executive summary:
The abiotic degradation of the aqueous solutions of the substance was evaluated on the basis of method and procedures outlined for the preliminary test into the OECD guideline 111. Two test solutions were prepared by dissolution of the substance in water and they were further diluted in buffer solutions to obtain six test solutions (in total) of three different pH (4 -7 -9). The hydrolysis was carried out at 50 °C. The concentration of the residual substance was determined by HPLC after 2.4 hours and 5 days. Less than 10 % hydrolysis was observed after 5 days in the test solution of pH 7.0; more than 10 % was hydrolysed in the test solutions of pH 4.0 and pH 9.0. Because the substance consists of a very complex mixture of structures, the results of a quantitative evaluation are widely scattered. Changes of the pH-values can affect the different components in various ways, not only by hydrolysis of (a) component (s) but for example also by influencing a protonation equilibrium which can cause changes of the extinction coefficient at a defined wave length.
Conclusion.
Hydrolysis at pH 7 after 5 days at 50 °C is about 10 %. The substance has a half-life time about one year at 25 °C pH 7. The substance has a half-life time shorter than one year and longer than one day at 25 °C at pH 4 and 9.

Additional information
The abiotic degradation of the aqueous solutions of the substance was evaluated on the basis of method and procedures outlined for the preliminary test into the OECD guideline 111. The concentration of the residual substance was determined by HPLC after 2.4 hours and 5 days. Less than 10 % hydrolysis was observed after 5 days in the test solution of pH 7.0; more than 10 % was hydrolysed in the test solutions of pH 4.0 and pH 9.0. Because the substance consists of a very complex mixture of structures, the results of a quantitative evaluation are widely scattered. Changes of the pH-values can affect the different components in various ways, not only by hydrolysis of (a) component (s) but for example also by influencing a protonation equilibrium which can cause changes of the extinction coefficient at a defined wave length.
Due to the chemical structure and functional groups presents, in the case of Direct Black 168 hydrolysis can be considered as negligible degradation pathway. Hydrolysable organic groups are in fact those groups that can react with water like Esters, Anhydrides, Amides, Carbammates, Nitriles, Cyanates, Epoxides, Halomethanes, Alkylhalides, Urea and none of these groups are present within the commonly market substance formula.
