Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Justification for type of information:
Important considerations for the read-across:

Sodium Olivoyl Glutamate (the target chemical) has similar physico-chemical properties as the others members:
- "Aliphatic acid category" (the source chemicals);
- "Amino acid alkyl amides category" (the source chemicals);
- Sodium oleoyl glutamate (the source chemicals);

Key points are that the members share:
- the same structural features
- similar metabolic pathways
- common levels and mode of human health related effects
- function.

Conclusions:
Surface tension as a function of temperature was measured for four fatty acids (lauric, myristic, palmitic, and oleic) and two triglycerides (tricaprylin and tripalmitin). These surface tension measurements were performed using a K12 vers. 3.1 (Krüss GmbH) tensiometer at temperatures from 20 (or the melting point of each substance) to 90°C. The constants for a van der Waals-type correlation as well as for a linear equation are presented. Both equations are quite accurate, presenting mean deviations not exceeding 0.570%. Such correlation constants are valuable in the design or evaluation of processing equipment, especially that involving gas–liquid contact such as distillation and stripping columns, deodorizers, reactors, and equipment for physical refining.
Executive summary:

Overall, considering available data on the category members the substance have a hight suface tension

Conclusions:
Surface tension of amino acids based surfactants increases remarkably with increasing chain length of hydrocarbon. The surface tension value at the cmc for 2CnCys with shorter hydrocarbon chain length is lower than for the C8Cys, whereas this result is reversed for n=12 with longer chain length. The increase in chain length for gemini surfactant remarkably increases (gamma)cmc. It is noteworthy that the (gamma)cmc values of 2C8Cys and 2C10Cys are lower than those of amino acid-based cationic gemini surfactants (31mNm-1 for cystine derivative and 30–35mNm-1 for arginine derivative
