Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Surface tension was determined to be 66.5 ± 2.0 mN/m for the 0.11 g/L loading rate and 56.2 ± 1.0 mN/m for the 1.1 g/L loading rate at 22.0 ± 0.5°C. The test item was considered to be surface active but this was dependent on loading rate (OECD 115 and EU Method A.5).

Additional information

GUIDELINE

Surface tension was investigated 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.

METHOD

The surface tension of nominally 90 % saturated solutions was determined using two loading rates (0.11 and 1.1 g/L) at 22.0 ± 0.5°C.

RESULTS

Surface tension was determined to be 66.5 ± 2.0 mN/m for the 0.11 g/L loading rate and 56.2 ± 1.0 mN/m for the 1.1 g/L loading rate at 22.0 ± 0.5°C.

CONCLUSION

The test item was considered to be surface active but this was dependent on loading rate.
