Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Surface tension:
72 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C

1 g/L

Test temperature: 20 °C

Solution concentration: 1 g/L

Solution age: Prepared immediately before measurement

Initial values for the surface tension were obtained as soon as possible after transfer of the aqueous solution to the measurement vessel.

From the results there was no apparent time dependence of surface tension after transfer to the measuring vessel.

Overall mean calibration corrected surface tension = 72.5 mN/m

Harkins-Jordan* corrected value = 72.0 mN/m [*HARKINS, W.D. and JORDAN, H.F., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 52, 1751 (1930).

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/l aqueous solution of DIGIRENA SA TEMABF4 anhydrous was found to be 72.0 mN/m. As the result is greater than 60 mN/m, the test substance is not considered to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of DIGIRENA SA TEMABF4 anhydrous was found to be 72.0 mN/m. As the result is greater than 60 mN/m, the test substance is not considered to be surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
