| NCHN | DISPERSIBLE | Dispergierbar | Dispersing agents have been added to the substance. Dispersing agents are added to process liquids to prevent unwanted deposits by keeping them finely dispersed. They function in both aqueous and non-aqueous media. | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
| NCHN | EMULSIFIABLE | Emulgierbar | An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable) liquids. One liquid is dispersed in the other. Many emulsions are oil/water emulsions, with dietary fats being one common type of oil encountered in everyday life. Examples of emulsions include butter and margarine, milk and cream, and vinaigrettes. In butter and margarine, fat surrounds droplets of water (a water-in-oil emulsion). In milk and cream, water surrounds droplets of fat (an oil-in-water emulsion). | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
| NCHN | INSOLUBLE | Unlöslich | The substance is not capable of being dissolved in a solvent. | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
| NCHN | NOT_OR_HARDLY_MISCIBLE | Nicht bzw. wenig mischbar | The substance is immiscible or nearly immiscible. Substances are said to be immiscible if in any proportion, they do not form a solution. For example, diethyl ether is fairly soluble in water, but these two solvents are not miscible since they are not soluble in all proportions. | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
| NCHN | SUSPENDED | Suspendiert | The substance is in suspension. A suspension is a homogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. When the solid is mixed with liquid, suspended particles will eventually settle. An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
| NCHN | WATER_SOLUBLE | Wasserlöslich | The substance is soluble. Solubility is the ability of a given substance to dissolve in a solvent. It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. Certain liquids are soluble in all proportions with a given solvent, such as ethanol in water. | | | | | | | 23.05.2025 | relevant | relevant | relevant |
