Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Surface tension:
ca. 69.7 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 000 mg/L
Conclusions:
Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC Guideline, the test substance is a not surface active substance.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test substance was based on the OECD Guideline No. 115: "Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions" (1995) and on the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.5 “Surface tension”, EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. In conclusion, the surface tension of the test substance in water (at a concentration of about 0.1 %) was determined to be 69.7 mN/m at 20.0 °C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC Guideline, the test substance is a not surface active substance.

Description of key information

Key study: OECD guideline 115 and EU method A.5. GLP study.

In conclusion, the surface tension of the test substance in water (at a concentration of about 0.1 %) was determined to be 69.7 mN/m at 20.0 °C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC Guideline, the test substance is a not surface active substance.
