Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

RESULTS

CALIBRATION FACTOR (Φb)

The readings, temperatures and the corresponding calibration factors for the glass doubledistilled water relevant to Sample Solution A and Sample Solution B are presented in the tables below.

SAMPLE SOLUTION READINGS

The readings, times and temperatures for Sample Solution A and Sample Solution B are presented in tables below.

- Surface tension = reading x calibration factor

- Sample Solution A = 71.5 x 1.000

- Sample Solution A = 71.5 mN/m

- Sample Solution B = 71.5 x 1.000

- Sample Solution B = 71.5 mN/m

- Overall mean = 71.5 mN/m

- Temperature = 21.5 ± 0.5 ºC

- pH of sample solution = Sample Solution A = 6.1 whereas Sample Solution B = 6.0

Conclusions:
The average surface tension of the duplicate 90% saturated solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 71.5 mN/m at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test substance has been determined using the plate method in accordance with OECD TG 115 and EU Method A5, in compliance with GLP. The average surface tension of duplicate 90% saturated solution of the test substance in water has been determined to be on average 71.5 mN/m at 22.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test substance was considered not to be a surface-active substance.
