Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Surface tension (OECD Guideline 115, tensiometer):

66 mN/m at 20 °C, 1.8 mg/L of test substance in water

69 mN/m at 20 °C, 0.7 mg/L of test substance in water

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
66
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1.8

Additional information

Due to technical issues during the test, the final concentrations of test item were lower than the expected 90% of saturation (equal to 2.25 mg/L). The surface tension at the nearest reached concentration (1.8 mg/L) is used as key value for the CSA.

The test substance is non-surface active.
