Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
27 APR 2021 - XX JUN 2022
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Version / remarks:
92/69/EEC. 1992. Official Journal of the European Communities No. L383A
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Version / remarks:
1995
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
ring method
Surface tension:
71.2 mN/m
Temp.:
20.03 °C
Conc.:
14.2 mg/L
Conclusions:
The mean measured corrected surface tension of the sammple was 71.2 ± 0.2 dynes/cm (mN/m)
(CV = 0.32%) 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the surface tension of the test substance. The study was performed based on procedures in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Guideline 115, Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions and Council of the European Communities Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal of the European Communities No. L383A, Method A.5, Surface Tension under GLP.


The surface tension of the sample was determined at 20.0°C using a surface tensiometer based on the ring method.  A single surface tension determination was performed on three separate aliquots of the test substance sample.  The mean corrected surface tension of the substance was 71.2 ± 0.2 dynes/cm (CV = 0.32%) at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC at a monomer-concentration of 14.2 mg/L.
