Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The test item has a mean surface tension of 65.0 mN/m. Therefore the test item is not to be regarded as surface active.

Conclusions:
The surface tension at 20 °C is 64.96 mN/m. The test item is not to be regarded as surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension at 20 °C of test item was determined by the ring method according to OECD Test Guideline 115 and EC No. 440/2008 Part A. Method A.5.

The surface tension at 20 °C is 64.96 mN/m.  The test item is not to be regarded as surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension at 20 °C is 64.96 mN/m.  The test item is not to be regarded as surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
64.95
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
