Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 000 mg/L

A graphical illustration of the time dependance of the surface tension from the age of the solution is attached.

The surface tension of the test substance was calculated from the mean value of the last five measured values and in consideration of the calibration factor of the apparatus and the correction according to Harkins-Jordan.

Mean value (corrected according to Harkins-Jordan): 63.29 mN/m

Mean value * calibration factor: 64.25 mN/m

Final value: 64.3 mN/m

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item is 64.3 mN/m at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined in a GLP study according to EU test method A.5 and OECD testing guideline 115. The surface tension of the test item is 64.3 mN/m. Based on these results, the test item is not a surfactant.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test item is 64.3 mN/m.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
