Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 mean results were based on the last five readings that had reached a plateau.

Mean Sample 1 result : 66.0 mN/m

pH of Sample 1 : 5.7

Mean Sample 2 result : 66.0 mN/m

pH of Sample 2 : 5.7

Overall result : 66.0 ± 0.5 mN/m

Overall temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test material at nominally 1 g/L in water has been determined to be 66.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test material was considered to be not surface-active.
Executive summary:

The surface activity of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 115 and EU Method A.5, under GLP conditions, following the ring method.

Under the conditions of the study the surface tension of the test material at nominally 1 g/L in water has been determined to be 66.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test material was considered to be not surface-active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test material at nominally 1 g/L in water has been determined to be 66.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test material was considered to be not surface-active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
66
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The surface activity of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 115 and EU Method A.5, under GLP conditions, following the ring method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Under the conditions of the study the surface tension of the test material at nominally 1 g/L in water has been determined to be 66.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test material was considered to be not surface-active.
