Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 62.8 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered not to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension of the test item according to OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5. The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 62.8 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered not to be surface active.

Description of key information

The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension of the test item according to OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5. The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 62.8 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered not to be surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
62.8

Additional information

One reliable experimental study is available and is selected as key study (Charles River, 2018). It was performed according to OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5, and under GLP principles.
