Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean (experiments 1 to 2): σmean = 70.47 mN/m


Standard deviation: 0.08 mN/m


Relative standard deviation: 0.11%


 


The mean value, multiplied by the calibration factor (F=1.0188) yields to:


 


σ = σmean *F = 71.79 mN/m


 


According to the EEC guideline a saturated solution has been prepared and then diluted to 90 % of the saturation concentration.


The surface tension of the test item at 20 °C was: σ = 71.8 mN/m

Description of key information

71.8 mN/m at 20 °C (conc.: 90 % saturation)
(OECD 115, harmonized ring method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
71.8
