Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test temperature:..............................................................19.5C

Density of water at 19.5C:.................................................0.99833 g/cm3

Literature value for the surface tension of water at 19.5C: ......72.8 mN/m

The measured value of the surface tension of distilled water was within 1 mN/m of the literature value, which demonstrates that the balance was calibrated correctly.

The mean corrected value of the surface tension of the test solution was 68.8 mN/m (individual determinations of 68.0 and 69.5 mN/m).

The test substance is not considered to be surface active under the terms of the Directive as the surface tension is greater than 60 mN/m.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of Kordek 573T industrial microbiocide is 68.8 mN/m at 19.5C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension was determined using EEC Method A5. The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of Kordek 573T industrial microbiocide is 68.8 mN/m at 19.5C.
