Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean (experiments 1 to 2): σmean = 60.14 mN/m

Standard deviation: 0.82 mN/m

Relative standard deviation: 1.36 %

The mean value, multiplied by the calibration factor (F= 1.0132) yields to:

σ = σmean F = 60.94 mN/m

Conclusions:
not surface active

Description of key information

60.9 mN/m at 20 °C
concentration: 90 % of the saturation concentration

Key value for chemical safety assessment
