Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study period:
07 November 2018 to 04 December 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Version / remarks:
The determination was carried out by a ring method, using a procedure 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 the Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Version / remarks:
The determination was carried out by a ring method, using a procedure 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 the Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
Deviations:
no

Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test item: Acid Orange 94 Refined
Alternative name: Disodium 5, 5’-[(1-methylethylidene)bis(4,1-phenyleneoxysulphonyl-2,1-phenyleneazo)]bis[6-aminonaphthalene-1-sulphonate]
CAS number: 70161-18-1
EC number: 274-354-1
Intended use: Industrial chemical
Appearance: Reddish brown crystals
Storage conditions: Room temperature (10 – 30C), in the dark
Lot number: 8009
Expiry/Retest date: 31 December 2019
Purity: 97%
Key result
Surface tension:
>= 58 - <= 60 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
0.102 g/L
Key result
Surface tension:
>= 57 - <= 59 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
0.101 g/L

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.

Conclusions:
The surface tension at nominally 1 g/L of test item in water has been determined to be 57.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension was determined using 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, in accordance with GLP.

The surface tension at nominally 1 g/L of test item in water was been determined to be 57.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. As the test item demonstrated to show a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method th test item is considered to be surface-active.

Description of key information

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.

The surface tension at nominally 1 g/L of test item in water has been determined to be 57.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
57.5
