Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results of tensiometer readings are listed in Table 2 (liChrosolv.water) and Table 3 (solutio of the test substance).

Table2: Tensiometer readings (5 determinations and mean) of LiChrosolv(R)-water at 20°C.

 Determination  Tensiometer readings (mN/m)
 1st  72.4
 2nd  72.3
 3rd  72.5
 4th  72.3
 5th  72.2
 mean  72.34

 Determination  Time after 1st determination(min)  Tensiometer readings (mN/m)"D-VAL-DANE" solution (1g/l)
  1st  0  70.8
 2nd  5  70.9
 3rd  15  70.9
 4th  75  70.8
 5th  90  70.8
 6th  105  70.8
 7th  165  70.8
 8th  285  70.9
 9th  345  70.8
 10th  405  70.8
 mean  -  70.83
 SD  -  0.05

No time dependence of the surface tension of the test substance solution was observed within a time period of 6.75 hours.

Mathematical corrections of the tensiometer readings:

Calculated mean experimental value: 70.83 x 1.0057 = 71.23 mN/m

Correction according to DIN 53914:71.23 1.0756 x 0.7232 9 71.12 mN/m

Mean surface tension of the test substance solution +/- standard deviation_: 71.12 mN/m+/-0.05

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Mean of 10 determinations: 71.12 mN/m
Standard deviation: 0.05mN/m
(Temperature: 20°C, concentration: 1g/l)
