Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Surface tension
Surface tension:
36.76 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: This value is significantly lower than water (70 mN/m). In combination with DMF.HCl, the surface activity of such a solution will still be significantly below that of water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
DMF has a surface activity of 37 mN/m, which is significantly lower than water (70 mN/m). In combination with DMF.HCl, the surface activity of such a solution will still be significantly below that of water.
