Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
67.1 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

An aqueous solution of the test item in de-ionized water with a concentration of 1.0 g/l was prepared and treated for 30 minutes at 25 ± 0.5 °C by ultrasound. After solving and tempering at 20 ± 0.5 °C for 2 hours, the measurement of the surface tension with the test item was carried out at 20 ± 0.5 °C.

Mean value:   = 67.08 mN/m 


Du to the fact that the surface tension is higher than 60 mN/m, the test item has no surface-active properties. 

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the aqueous solution at 20 °C is 67.1 mN/m.
