Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sample Preparation and Analysis.

The age of the solution and the corresponding surface tension for both runs (after correction for water calibration) is detailed in following Table.

 Solution age (minutes) Surface Tension Reading (mN/m) 
    Run 1
 5  69.0
 20  68.6
 35  68.7
 50  68.5
 90  68.5
    Run 2
 5  65.4
 20  65.6
 35  65.9
 55  65.5
 80  65.6

Results: 67.1 mN.m-1 (mean value)

Conclusions:
The test is conducted to determine the effect of a compound, on the free surface enthalpy per unit surface area of water.
The test is conducted in accordance to EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A5 and OECD Test Guideline 115.
Result : 67.1 mN.m-1 (mean value) at 20°C
