Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

57.6 mN/m
Temp.:
21 °C

0.03 g/L

Any other information on results incl. tables

The measured value of the surface tension has been corrected for the weight of the liquid in the lamella drawn up by the ring as it lifts from the solution surface. The correction factor, applied for the correction, depends on the solution density, the ring diameter, the wire diameter and the acceleration du to the gravity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
the surface tension of atrazine (technica) has been determined as:
57.6 mN/m for a 90% saturated aqueous solution at 21°C.
