Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Surface tension not relevant as the chemical structure of the substance does not indicate surface active properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

According to column 2 of the table given in REACH Annex VII, the study on surface tension can get waived if the chemical structure of the substance does not indicate surface active properties. According to ECHA's "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance", surface active properties are attributed to structures containing a hydrophilic headgroup (e.g. -SO3 -, -SO4-, -(OCH2CH2)n, -N+(CH3)3) and a hydrophobic tail). As this clearly is not applicble to target substance titanium oxychloride, the study on surface tension is being waived. Furthermore surface activity is not a desired property of the target substance, which is considered an additional valid waiving argument.
