Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
29 August 2017 to 10 January 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
OECD harmonised ring method
Key result
Surface tension:
>= 39.8 - <= 40.4 mN/m
Temp.:
21 °C
Conc.:
0.9 g/L
Conclusions:
The surface tension of the substance in water at about 90% of its saturation concentration was found to be 40.1 +/- 0.3 mN/m which means that this substance is a surfacting agent, in line with its use mainly in lubricants.
