Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aqueous solutions containing 1.0158 g/l and 1.0136 g/l coagulant 122 (solid), both had a surface tension of 71.9 mN/m ar 18.5°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
71.9
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 015.8

Additional information

 Test temperature:  18.5 + 0.5°C.
 Density of water at 18.5°C: 0.99853 g/cm3 (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 58th edition 1977 -78 p. F45. Extrapolated from linear regression of values at 18 and 20 °C).
Surface tension of water at 18.5°C: 72.97 mN/m (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 58th edition, 1977 - 78, pF45. Extrapolated from linear regression over the temperature range 15 and 30°C).
