Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Surface tension:
ca. 56.6 mN/m
Temp.:
20.4 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

Mean Sample 1 result : 59.6 mN/m

pH of Sample 1 : 10.4

Mean Sample 2 result : 53.6 mN/m

pH of Sample 2 : 10.3

Mean result : 56.6 ± 3.5 mN/m

Overall temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a nominally 1.0 g/L solution of test item in water has been determined to be 56.6 ± 3.5 mN/m at 20.4 ± 0.5 °C.
The test item was considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

Surface Tension. 53.6 ± 3.5 mN/m (mean of duplicate, nominally 1.0 g/L solutions) at 20.0 ±

0.5 °C, 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 to be

surface-active.

Description of key information

The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
