Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: DIN EN 14370
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Amides, C8-18 even numbered, N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] build a stable emulsion with water. Therefore the surface tension was determined for a 1 g/L emulsion at 20 °C according to DIN EN 14370 (replaced DIN 53914) using the Wilhelmy plate method. Bidestilled water and 1-octanol have been measured as calibration and control sample.

Amides, C8-18 even numbered, N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] builds a stable emulsion with water. Therefore the surface tension was determined for a 1 g/L emulsion at 20 °C according to DIN EN 14370 using the Wilhelmy plate method. The surface tension of the test material was determined to be 27.8±0.1 mN/m at 20 °C. The individual results of the five measurements are compiled in the following table:
