Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
According to criteria mentioned in EC Method A.5, substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be regarded as being surface-active.
The mean surface tension of duplicate 90 % saturation concentration solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 69.4 mN/m at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

The mean surface tension of duplicate 90 % saturation concentration solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 69.4 mN/m at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.
