Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Result : 55.5 mN.m-1 (mean value)

Conclusions:
Result : 55.5 mN.m-1(mean value)
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 measuring system consists of; a platinum duNoüy ring attached to a tensiometer, and a measurement vessel to hold the test solution. The ring is suspended horizontally to the surface plane to avoid erroneous readings from the measuring system.

The surface tension of the water used to prepare the test solution is initially determined to ensure suitability for testing. The test is conducted in accordance to EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A5.

1.0 mg of test material was weighed into a 100 ml flask and filled up to 100 ml using HPLC Grade Water. The sample filtered through a 1 µl acrodisc filter and then diluted to 90 %.

Result : 55.5 mN.m-1 (mean value)
