Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
OECD harmonised ring method
Surface tension:
66.38 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
9.9 mg/L

- Result first measurement: 66.38 mN/m

- Result second measurement: (after 30 minutes waiting/age of test solution 27 h. 30 min.): 67.04 mN/m

Conclusions:
The surface tension as corrected value is 66.38 mN/m measured at 20 °C. The concentration of the test solution was 9.9 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to guideline A.5 for determination of the surface tension, EG Guideline 92/69 by the OECD ring method at 20 °C. The concentration of the test solution was 9.9 mg/L. The calibration factor (Phi b) of pure water at 20 °C was 0.9385. Corrected results of the surface tension for the first and second measurement (after 30 minutes waiting) were 66.38 mN/m and 67.04 mN/m. The surface tension as corrected value was 66.38 mN/m (average of the final three values). The substance is not surface-active and the deviation between the first and second measurement (0.99 %) is within the experimental error.
