Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test item, diluted to 1 g/l in water at 20 °C, measured by the plate method using a tensiometer was: σ = 72.1 mN/m.
Due to the fact that the surface tension is 72.1 mN/m, usually the test item has no surface-active properties

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
72.1
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The surface tension of the test item was determined using a plate tensiometer. A commercially available tensiometer based on the plate method was used to measure the force which is required to withdraw a horizontally suspended plate from the surface of the test solution.
The surface tension was determined in a concentration of 1 g/L test item diluted in demineralized water at 20°C.

The surface tension of the test item, diluted to 1 g/l in water at 20 °C, measured by the plate method using a tensiometer was: σ = 72.1 mN/m.

Due to the fact that the surface tension is 72.1 mN/m, usually the test item has no surface-active properties
