Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The mean results were based on the last five readings that had reached a plateau were as follows:

Mean Sample 1 result : 56.9 mN/m pH of Sample 1 : 6.0

Mean Sample 2 result : 57.8 mN/m pH of Sample 2 : 6.0

Overall result : 57.5 ± 1.0 mN/m

Overall temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

Discussion:

According to criteria stated 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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item at nominally 90 % saturation in water has been determined to be 57.5 ± 1.0 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

Surface Tension: 57.5 ± 1.0 (90% saturated solution) at 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC, using a ring method, designed to be compatible with Method A.5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
