Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The surface tension of KGA was determined in accordance with EU Method A.5 and OECD Guideline 115.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
73.8
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The surface tension of KGA was determined by means of a tensiometer using the ring method. The force that was required to withdraw a horizontally suspended ring from the surface of the solution is measured. Several measurements were made until a constant value was obtained. The resulting surface tension was 73.8 mN/m at 20 degrees C at a concentration of about 1 g/L. Based on the criteria, KGA is not considered a surface active substance.
