Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
plate method
Remarks:
A tensiometer conforming with GLP (K11HRX, Fa. Krüss) was used. Usage following SOP 118 009 60 in the current edition, and referring to ISO 304 (1985). The Plate A plate of roughened Pt/Ir, qualified together with the tensiometer, was used.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Name 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone
Batch no. 20111104
Composition 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone
CAS No. 611-99-4
Purity ≥ 99.5% purity
Key result
Surface tension:
70.45 mN/m
Temp.:
19.9 °C
Conc.:
304 mg/L
Conclusions:
The surface tension of an aqueous solution of a single concentration (90% saturation of 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone) was determined as 70.45 ± 0.11 mN/m at 19.9 °C.
One measurement was performed for verification (after 72 minutes). No significant changes and thus no significant dependence on time were observed.
As these values were higher than 60 mN/m, 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone was classified as 'not surface active'.
The surface tension of the negative control lay within the accepted range
The concentration of the test substance in the 90% saturated test solution was determined to be 304 mg test substance/L (based on analysis of dissolved organic carbon in the test solution). The saturated solution was obtained from an aqueous solution pre-pared with 1g/L of test substance by shaking for 72 hours.

Description of key information

The surface tension of an aqueous solution of a single concentration (90% saturation of 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone) was determined as 70.45 ± 0.11 mN/m at 19.9 °C.

As these values were higher than 60 mN/m, 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone was classified as 'not surface active'.

The concentration of the test substance in the 90% saturated test solution was determined to be 304 mg test substance/L (based on analysis of dissolved organic carbon in the test solution). The saturated solution was obtained from an aqueous solution prepared with 1g/L of test substance by shaking for 72 hours.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
70.45
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
