Preliminary Test

The preliminary estimate of water solubility was 4.96 g/L at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.

Main Test

Typical chromatography is presented in the section "Attached background information".

The mean peak areas relating to the standard and sample solutions are shown in the following table:

Validation

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 250 to 1000 mg/L. The results were satisfactory with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9998 being obtained.

Discussion

On completion of the equilibration period, the samples were clear and colorless with excess test item present at the bottom of the test vessels. The solutions were decanted, avoiding excess test item prior to centrifugation. After centrifugation and filtration, the supernatant was taken for analysis. The supernatant was visually observed to be clear/colorless and free from un-dissolved test item.

As the water solubility was determined during the preliminary test to be above 10-2 g/L, the flask shaking test was performed.

All individual water solubility results were within ± 15% of the mean, thus satisfying the criteria specified in the guidelines.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The water solubility of the test item has been determined to be 6.10 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using the flask method, designed to be compatible with Method A.6 Water Solubility of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 105 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

Conclusion

The water solubility of the test item has been determined to be 6.10 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.
