Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results: 51.2 mN.m-1 (mean value)

Conclusions:
The surface tension was determined to be 51.2 mN.m-1 (mean value) using the ring method.
Executive summary:

The test is conducted to determine the effect of a compound, on the free surface enthalpy per unit surface area of water.

The test is conducted in accordance to EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A.5and OECD Test Guideline 115.

The surface tension was determined to be 51.2 mN.m-1 (mean value) using the ring method therefore the test item is surface active.

Description of key information
