Experimental data are presented for 11 C8-C15 aliphatic alcohols and 12 phthalate and adipate diesters using a slow-stir water solubility test method. The slow stirring method provides more reliable water solubility measurements for these liquid substances than previous studies since the formation of emulsions is avoided. Because the solubility of these chemicals spanned a range of more than six orders of magnitude, several different analytical procedures were employed. The water solubility data reported in this work agree well with other recently reported slow-stir measurements and with structure-property model predictions (SPARC and WSKOWWIN).
