no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
ring method
Surface tension:
37.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1.117 g/L

Little droplets could be observed at the rim of the measuring vessel. The test solution was slightly turbid.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. at 20°C was determined to be 37.5 mN/m (1.117 g/L).
Executive summary:

The surface tension of MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. was determined according to OECD Guideline 115 (27 July 1995) and EU Method A.5 (30 May 2008) using the ring tensiometer method. A surface tension of 37.5 mN/m at 20°C was determined at a test item concentration of 1.117 g/L. Based on the results, MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. is considered to be surface-active. The measurement was performed at a concentration exceeding water solubility.

Description of key information

The surface tension of MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. was determined to be 37.5 mN/m at 20°C at a test item concentration of 1.117 g/L (OECD Guideline 115/EU Method A.5; ring tensiometer method). MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. is considered to be surface-active.
