Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Surface tension:
70.8 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 000 mg/L

Two aqueous solutions of the test item (approx. 1 g / L; 202.3 mg and 203.8 mg ad 200 ml) were prepared by adding distilled water and shaking the solutions. The test item was solved completely.



The measurements were carried out at 20°C ± 0.5°C. A correction factor (Harkins & Jordan) has been accounted for.

The mean value, multiplied by the calibration factor (F= 1.0099) yields to:F = 70.8 mN/m.

 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the surface tension:

























Target condition according to guideline OECD 115:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
A solution of the substance is prepared in distilled water. The concentration of this solution should be 90 % of the saturation solubility of the substance in water; when this concentration exceeds 1 g/ L, a concentration of 1 g/ L is used for testing.The test substance was determined to be miscible with water at any ratio (see "Water solubility"). A concentration of 1 g/ L was used for testing. Yes
The measurement shall be made at approximately 20 °C and shall be controlled to within ± 0.5 °C.The test temperature was 20 °C ± 0.5 °C.Yes
The measurement results: individual readings, their arithmetic mean and the corrected mean; concentration of the solution should be stated.The results are stated in sufficient detail (a correction factor (Harkins & Jordan) has already been accounted in the individual results).Yes

 



Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test substance was 70.8 mN/m at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test substance was 70.8 mN/m at 20°C.
