Version / remarks:
critical micelle concentration (CMC) method
Principles of method if other than guideline:
For surface active substances the critical micelle concentration (CMC) method is used as an alternative to the water solubility. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is determined by measuring the surface tension of test substance solutions at different test substance concentration. For surface active substances which form micelles in solution, the surface tension decreases with increasing concentration until the CMC is reached. At concentrations above the CMC, the surface tension remains constant. The CMC is determined from a plot of the surface tension versus the logarithm of the test substance concentration.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the water solubility (critical micelle concentration) of the test substance, C18 TMAC (Purity: 99.2%) using a guideline based on critical micelle concentration (CMC) method. Test substance solutions at nominal concentrations of 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 10 g/L were prepared. The pH of the 10 g/L stock solutions was adjusted by adding 0.1 M sodium hydroxide and monitored with a pH meter. The experiment was performed at 25°C. The surface tension at 1 g/L solution was determined to be 38 mN/m. Under the study conditions, the water solubility (CMC) of the test substance was determined to be 49 mg/L at 25 °C (Börjesson, 2012).

Description of key information

The water solubility of the test substance was determined using the critical micelle concentration (CMC) method according to DIN 53914 Guideline (Börjesson, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Water solubility:
49 mg/L
at the temperature of:
25 °C
