Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean Sample 1 result: 71.5 mN/m     pH of Sample 1: 6.8

Mean Sample 2 result: 71.5 mN/m     pH of Sample 2: 6.9

Mean result: 71.5 mN/m

Overall temperature: 21.8 ± 0.5 °C

 

Discussion

According to criteria mentioned in EC Method A.5, substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be regarded as being surface active.

 

Conclusion

The mean surface tension of duplicate solutions prepared at nominally 1 g/L solution of test item in water has been determined to be 71.5 mN/m at 21.8 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.
