Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The aqueous solution of the test item had a mean surface tension of 72.1 mN/m. This is > 60 mN/m, therefore the test item has no surface active properties.

Description of key information

72.1 mN/m at 20 °C and 1 g/L (OECD 115, tensiometric method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
72.1
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
