케탈이나 아세탈반응에 의하여 이루어진 1, 3-디옥솔란 고리가 산수용액 중에서 불안정해 쉽게 가수분해되는 성질을 이용하여 소수부로는 지방산의 탄화수소사슬을 친수부로는 소디움 카르복시산(Soap)을 도입하여 분해 후 계면활성을 띠지 않는 분해성 계면활성제이다. 이 화합물의 수용액에 대한 표면장력은 31dyne/cm였고, 임계미셀농도는 $1.0{ imes}10^{-3}mol/L$이었다. 기포력은 비교적 좋지 않았으며, 유화력은 콩기름보다 벤젠에서 양호하였다. 또한 이 화합물의 산분해 특성을 1wt% 수용액과 벤젠 사이의 계면장력 변화에 의하여 측정한 결과 pH 1 ${sim}$ 4범위에서 약 300분 안에 모두 가수분해됨을 확인하였다.
As the surfactants that were used in micellar reaction, emulsion polymerization and phase-transfer reaction etc. have the problems, the cleavable surfactant was converted to inactive compound after such as the reaction in the condition. Because 1, 3-dioxolane ring by ketal or acetal reactioc is lack of stability in acid condition, it is easily made to acid-hydrolysis. And cmc value of the surfactant is assumed $1.0{ imes}10^{-5}mol/L$ and surface tension in cmc is 31 dyne/cm. Compared with other surfactant, this surfactant foam property is not better. But emulsion property was relatively good. According as acid-hydrolysis property was observed the interface tension change between aqueous solution and benzene by the variation of pH and time, this surfactant was made to hydrolysis within about 300minutes in pH 1${sims}$4. Therefore this surfactant is expected to be a good emulsifier that has the bad foam property and the acid-hydrolysis property in acid condition.
