Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The surface tension of C16-18 DMAPA amidoamine as water soluble fraction was 26.7±0.15 mN/m at 20°C (2.7 mg/L). The substance is surface active. (OECD guideline 115/EU method A.5; ring method)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Surface tension:
- 26.7
- in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
- 2.7
Additional information
The surface tension of C16-18 DMAPA amidoamine was determined according to OECD guideline 115 (27 July 1995) and EU method A.5 (30 May 2008) using the ring method. The surface tension of C16-18 DMAPA amidoamine as water soluble fraction was 26.7±0.15 mN/m at 20°C (2.7 mg/L). The substance is therefore surface active.
The following results from supporting substances are used for justification of read-across:
The surface tension of Stearic acid 3-(dimethylaminopropyl)amide hydrochloride was determined according to ISO 4311, using the plate method. The surface tension vs. concentration plot showed a minimum of 37.86 mN/m at 0.22 g/L.
The surface tension of C22-trimethylammonium chloride at the critical micelle concentration (0.01 g/L) is 47.0 mN/m at 25°C. This value is a good estimate of the surface tension of solutions or dispersions at higher concentrations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
