Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Surface tension:
29.1 mN/m
Temp.:
25 °C
Conc.:
100 vol%
Conclusions:
The surface tension of Hydrocarbons,C9, aromatics, is 29.1 mN/m.
Executive summary:

A standard method was followed and the values were confirmed by the company. The data is therefore considered reliable and suitable for use for this endpoint.

The surface tension of Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics is 29.1 mN/m.

Endpoint:
surface tension
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because based on structure, surface activity is not expected or cannot be predicted

Description of key information

The surface tension of Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics, is 29.1 mN/m. This was based on neat material rather than in solution.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
29.1

Additional information

The surface tension of Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics, is 29.1 mN/m. This was based on neat material rather than in solution.

The surface tension was reported based on the neat material rather than in solution. However, surface tension may be waived: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the surface tension study does not need to be conducted as, based on the structure of this substance, surface activity is not expected or predicted and surface tension is not a desired property of the material.
