Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Substance water soluble.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
ring method
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Appearance/Physical state: Orange liquid
Batch: 102-17 filtered
Purity: ca 50 % solution in water
Key result
Surface tension:
ca. 55.6 mN/m
Temp.:
21 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

The surface tension of 1.0 g/L (0.5 g/l actives) solution of test item in water has been determined to be 55.6 mN/m at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Conclusions:
The surface tension has been determined to be 55.6 mN/m at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
It appears that the concentration reported refers to the test material as supplied and the 1 g/l of test material was actually 0.5 mg/l of the water-free substance
Either way, the result suggests some surface activity.

Description of key information

The surface tension has been determined to be 55.6 mN/m at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

It appears that the concentration reported refers to the test material as supplied and the 1 g/l of test material was actually 0.5 mg/l of the water-free substance

Either way, the result suggests some surface activity.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
55.6
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
