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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
- Study period:
- Oct 13, 2006
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Pendant drop
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- other: Pendant drop
- Key result
- Surface tension:
- 71 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Conc.:
- 1 g/L
- Conclusions:
- The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of the test item was measured to be 71 mN/m at 20 oC.
- Executive summary:
The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of the test item was measured to be 71 mN/m at 20 oC.
- Endpoint:
- surface tension
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because surface activity is not a desired property of the material

Only one measurement performed since surface tension was greater than 60 mN/m
Description of key information
The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of the test item was measured to be 71 mN/m at 20 oC. This is not a required measurement as surface activity is not a desired property of the sodium formate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Surface tension:
- 71
- in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
- 1 000
Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
