Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

By adjusting the temperature setting of the tensiometer, differences in the density of the liquid can be compensated automatically.

Arithmentic mean of two test solutions:                    35.5 mN/m (+ 0.3 mN/m)

Arithmetic mean corrected by calibration factor

determined via water calibration:                            35.7 mN/m

The sample was dissolved in water and tempered at 20 °C. Then the automatic measurement was initiated. The measurement was completed after 210 seconds.

The surface tension was determined at a concentration of 1 g/L.

Description of key information

35.7 mN/m at 22 °C, concentration 1 g/L.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The surface tension was determined by the ring method according to EU test method A.5. (similar to OECD 115).

The substance should be regarded as being surface active material.
