Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to be surface active (surface tension <60 mN/m).

Description of key information

31.9 mN/m (90% satuarated aqueous solution at 20°C) (OECD 115, EC A.5)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Surface tension 31.9 mN/m at 20 °C and 90% saturated aqueaous solution.


The test substance is considered to be surface active (surface tension <60 mN/m).
