Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 readings, times and temperatures for the sample solutions are shown in the following tables:

Sample 1

Age of Solution (min) Reading (mN/m) Temperature (°C)

85 71.5 20
96 71 20
106 71.5 20
117 71.5 20

176 71.5 20
186 71 20
196 71.5 20
207 71.5 20

Mean Sample 1 result : 71.3 mN/m (of last 5 results) pH of Sample 1 : 6.9

Mean Sample 2 result : 71.4 mN/m (of last 5 results) pH of Sample 2 : 6.9

Overall result : 71.5 ± 0.5 mN/m

Overall temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

According to criteria stated in EC Method A.5, substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be regarded as being surface active.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a nominally 90 % saturated solution of test item in water has been determined to be 71.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

Surface Tension: 71.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C (90 % saturated solution), using a ring method, designed to be compatible with Method A.5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.
