Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2009-2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
ring method
Surface tension:
62.6 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

Individual results:

Test Range of values Measuring period
water as reference 70.8 to 71.2 mN/m 59 min
test substance 1st un 62.5 to 62.7 mN/m 71 min
test substance 3rd run 62.4 to 62.8 mN/m 59 min
Conclusions:
The surface tension of an aqueous preparation of the test item (ß = 1 g/I) at 20°C was found to be at 62.6 mN/m.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 115) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 231-272-0) was determined to have s surface tension of 62.6 mN/m at 20°C

Description of key information

 Study conducted to recognised training guidelines with GLP

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
62.6
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The surface tension was determined by ring method to be 62.6 mN/m at 20°C (c= 1 g/L)

Based on the criteria as outlined in the OECD Guideline it is concluded that the test substance should not be regarded as being surface-active material.
