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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Surface tension
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- surface tension
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Non-GLP; non-guideline; Information from published handbook, data compendium, review article or other reference text; acceptable with restrictions.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The use of secondary sources of data is acceptable when they are based on a critical evaluation of peer-reviewed data and a consequent selection of a reliable and representative value for the property under investigation. The introduction to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics states that data for physical constants have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature. Where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. Therefore, although the method used is not known, the values presented here are acceptable as they are from a reliable secondary source of phys chem. data.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- other: No data
- Key result
- Surface tension:
- 27.55 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Conc.:
- 100 vol%
- Conclusions:
- The surface tension of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) at 25⁰C was measured to be 27.55mN/m. The value refers to the pure liquid.
- Executive summary:
No information on the methods used is available. However, this information is taken from a reliable peer reviewed handbook and is considered reliable and suitable for use for this endpoint. The surface tension of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) at 25 °C was measured to be 27.55 mN/m. The value refers to the pure liquid.
Reference
For pure liquid at 25⁰C.

Additional information
No information on the methods used is available. However, this information is taken from a reliable peer reviewed handbook (Lide 2008) and is considered reliable and suitable for use for this endpoint. The surface tension of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) at 25°C was measured to be 27.55 mN/m. The value refers to the pure liquid.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
