Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water (at 20°C) was 72.6 mN/m. Accordingly the test item is considered not to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test substance was determined in a GLP compliant test in accordance with EU method A.5 and OECD 115.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
72.6

Additional information

The test substance is considered not to be surface active.
