Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Testing of the surface tesion of chlorine is technically not possible as the substance reacts with water to form sodium hypochlorite. Thus read across to sodium hypochlorite is performed. The surface tension of sodium hypochlorite (24.3 % available chlorine) was determined to be 82.4 mN/m +/-0.8 mN/m (n=3) at 20.2-20.3°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Surface tension:
- 82.4
- in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
- 316
Additional information
Read-across to sodium hypochlorite (24.3 % available chlorine):
The mean surface tension of the test item pure in demineralized water was: 82.4 +/- 0.8 mN/m (corrected value) determined with the ring method. The test item was not considered as surface-active under the experimental conditions used in this test.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
