Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental start date: 12 January 2016 Experimental completion date: 25 March 2016
Reliability:

Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Version / remarks:
The determination was carried out by a ring method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals,
27 July 1995.

Key result
Surface tension:
40 mN/m
Temp.:
21.8 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: The mean surface tension of a duplicate solutions prepared at nominally 1 g/L solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 40.0 mN/m at 21.8 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Conclusions:
The mean surface tension of a duplicate solutions prepared at nominally 1 g/L solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 40.0 mN/m at 21.8 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

Surface Tension. 40.0 mN/m (1 g/L solution) at 21.8 ± 0.5 °C, using a ring method, designed to be compatible with Method A5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
