Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Substances in the lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14-C22 category have increasing surface tension with increasing carbon number. As the cut-off for being considered surface active is 60 mN/m and lithium behenate only slightly exceeds this, category members with carbon chain lengths of less than 22 are considered to have surface active properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The data on lithium myristate, lithium 12 -hydroxystearate and lithium behenate are taken from proprietary study reports (Harlan 2012, Harlan 2013).
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.
