Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 2-chloropropionic acid was measured according to EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension).
The surface tension of a 1.02 g/L solution of the test item was determined to be 71.9 mN/m at 22 +/- 0.5°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
71.9
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 020

Additional information

The surface tension of 2 -chloropropionic acid was measured using a platinum ring according to EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension) in a modern day guideline study. The surface tension is a measure of the vertical force required to separate the ring from the surface of the liquid. The liquid is a solution of the test substance in water (1.02 g/L). The surface tension of the test item was determined to be 71.9 mN/m at 22.0 +/- 0.5 °C.

Substances displaying a surface tension of < 60 mN/m should be regarded as surface active. The test item is considered not to be a surface-active material.
