Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 average surface tension was 72.8 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test substance was determined in an OECD Guideline 115 test. The surface tension of saturated solution at 20 °C was determined to be 72.8 mN/m.

Description of key information

72.8 mN/m at 20 °C (OECD 115, ring method), not surface active substance

Key value for chemical safety assessment
