Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

EU Risk Assessment on the major component of C4 Hydrocarbons: 1,3-Butadiene:

The surface tension of pure liquefied gas (1,3-butadiene) was estimated experimentally as 20.7 mN/m at -39.8°C. Using this value the extrapolated at 25°C surface tension was derived and it is 12.49 mN/m (Yaws et al., 1991).

No surface tension of an aqueous solution of 1,3-butadiene was reported, since the relevance of measuring of surface tension of so volatile compound is questionable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Surface tension of the major component of C4 Hydrocarbons: 1,3-butadiene for its pure liquefied form was reported in EU Risk Assessment Report (2002) as 20.7 mN/m at -39.8°C. Extrapolated to 25°C surface tension is 12.49 mN/m (Yaws et al., 1991).
