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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
A value of 27.1 mN/m can be seen as representative of the surface tension of chloroform at 20°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Surface tension:
- 27.1
Additional information
Available test data are not compliant with the relevant testing guidelines. The experimental values found in several publications (Cupples 1946, Hannan and Markham 1949 and Fanelli 1948) range from 25.2 to 26.7 mN/m at 25°C. These experimental values are in good agreement with the value reported in the HSDB data base (HSDB 2008) of 27.1 mN/m at 20 °C produced by Weiss (1986). All values indicate that chloroform is surface-active (threshold is 60 mN/m or lower). A weight-of-evidence approach is thus used for this property.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
