Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch No.: 960509
Purity: 92.3%
Surface tension:
72.5 mN/m
Temp.:
18.5 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

There was no apparent time dependence of surface tension after transfer to the measuring vessel.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of test item is 72.5 mN/m at 18.5 ℃.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution was determined with a surface tension/torsion balance using the OECD harmonized ring method as described in OECD 115 and EC A5.

The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of  test item is 72.5 mN/m at 18.5.
