Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
March to April 2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline compliant study
Justification for type of information:
Data has been read across from a structurally similar substance (Sodium Docusate).
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
plate method
Surface tension:
30.65 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

The Single results were :

30.8103 mN/m,

31.0054 mN/m and

31.0786 mN/m

The mean value was 30.96 mN/m

Correction factor: 0.9899

Final result: 30.65 +/- 0.1 mN·m-1

Executive summary:

The surface tension was determined with the plate method according to EC A.5 and OECD 115. The surface tension of a 1g/L solution of Docusate Sodium was 30.65 +/- 0.1 mN·m-1.

In the absence of experimental data for calcium docusate, the surface tension result for sodium docusate is applied as read-across.

The result is considered relevant and reliable for the further risk assessment.

Description of key information

30.65 mN/m

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
30.65
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

In the Klimisch 1 key study (Holzschuh 2010) the surface tension was determined with the plate method according to EC A.5 and OECD 115. The surface tension of a 1g/L solution of Docusate Sodium was 30.65 +/- 0.1 mN·m-1.

In the absence of experimental data for calcium docusate, the surface tension result for sodium docusate is applied as read-across.

The result is considered relevant and reliable for the further risk assessment.
