Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results of Test Item

During the specified period of time, no relevant changes in the surface tension were detected. Values ranging from 37.49 mN/m to 38.49 mN/m were recorded showing no relevant variations. The values of the single determinations show no relevant difference (less than 5 % between mean values of the two measurement series). 

Final Result

The surface tension of an aqueous solution of [Trade name] was determined as 37.71 ± 0.19 mN/m at 20.0 °C. One measurement was performed for verification (after 59 minutes). No significant changes and thus no significant dependence on time were observed. As these values were lower than 60 mN/m, [Trade name] was classified as surface active. The surface tension of the negative control lay within the accepted range.

Description of key information

Surface tension is 37.71 + 0.19 mN/m at 20 °C (OECD 115, plate method).
