Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
surface tension
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because based on structure, surface activity is not expected or cannot be predicted
the study does not need to be conducted because surface activity is not a desired property of the material

Description of key information

Surface activity is not the desired property of the substance and moreover based on the chemical structure the substance will not have surface activity.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, determination of surface tension (required in section 7.6) only needs to be conducted if based on the structure of the substance surface activity can be predicted. Based on the structure of the substance, no surface activity can be predicted (Ref.: R.7a: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, EU-Document (May 2008)) and consequently no testing is required.
