Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2017-04-04 to 2017-05-02
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Version / remarks:
version 1995
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
test performed on a solution saturated instead on a solution at 90% of hydrosolubility because hydrosolubility was not determined (<460 mg/L) - this deviation does not affect the results obtained.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Version / remarks:
version 2008
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
test performed on a solution saturated instead on a solution at 90% of hydrosolubility because hydrosolubility was not determined (<460 mg/L) - this deviation does not affect the results obtained.

Conclusions:
The mean surface tension of the test item saturated in distilled water at 20.1°C was 63.0 mN/m ± 0.6 mN/m. The test item was not considered as surface-active in the experimental conditions used.

Description of key information

The mean surface tension of the test item saturated in distilled water at 20.1°C was 63.0 mN/m ± 0.6 mN/m. The test item was not considered as surface-active in the experimental conditions used (OECD 115 guideline method).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
