Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The determination was carried out using a White Electrical Institute Co. Ltd. torsion balance for surface and interfacial tension measurements according EU Method A5 and OECD 115 under GLP conditions. The surface tension result was not corrected using the Harkins-Jordan correction table as the correction is not applicable to the apparatus used. This deviation has been considered not to have affected the integrity of the study.

The surface tension of a 90 % saturated solution of test item in water (0.5 g/l) has been determined to be 47.0 mN/m at 22.0 ± 0.5 °C. According to the criteria as mentioned in the guidelines(s), substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be regarded as being surface active. The test item is considered to be surface-active.
