Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
>= 36.5 - <= 37.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Conclusions:
The surface tension at nominally 1 g/L of test item in water has been determined to be 37.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Description of key information

The surface tension at nominally 1 g/L of test item in water has been determined to be 37.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Additional information

A surface tension measurement determination was conducted as part of a package of physicochemical testing on Sulfonic acids, C14-18-alkane hydroxy and C12-20-alkapolyene and C14-18-alkene and C12-20-alkene hydroxy, sodium salts (Envigo Research Limited, 2018, Study GT32WD). The study was conducted in compliance with GLP and the surface tension measurement was performed according to procedure designed to be compatible with Method A5 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 surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of sulfonic acids, C14-18-alkane hydroxy and C12-20-alkapolyene and C14-18-alkene and C12-20-alkene hydroxy, sodium salts has been determined to be 37.0 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC, using a ring method. The test item was considered to be surface-active
