Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study period:
4 September - 8 December 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: done under GLP and OECD method
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Directive 92/69/EEC, Method A5, Surface tension determined with a surface tension/torsion balance using the OECD harmonised ring method
GLP compliance:
yes
Surface tension:
52.53 mN/m
Temp.:
19.5 °C
Conc.:
90 vol%
Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 90% saturated aqueous solution is 52.53 mN/m at 19.5°C. The test substance is considered to be surface-active since the surface tension is less than 60 mN/m.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a 90% saturated aqueous solution is 52.53 mN/m at 19.5°C. The test substance is considered to be surface-active since the surface tension is less than 60 mN/m.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
