Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 was determined to be 43.4 mN/m at 20.0 °C.
Executive summary:

In a test using the ring method the substance was found to be surface active.

The mean of two determinations of the surface tension was determined to be 43.4 mN/m at 20.0 °C.

Description of key information
