Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sample Preparation and Analysis. Visual estimation of the water solubility indicated a solubility of 750 g/L therefore a 1g/L solution of the test item in water was prepared for analysis.

The age of the solution and the corresponding surface tension for both runs (after correction for water calibration):
