Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on methods and data evaluation:
The electroacoustic method is used for the determination of zeta potential respectively related properties like the iso-electric point of concentrated dispersions. A pulse technique device measures the electroacousitc signal at frequencies from 1 to 10 MHz for either pure liquids or colloids. Ultrasound induces a motion of particles relative to the liquid. This motion disturbs the double layer shifting a screening cloud of counter-ions. This displacement of the ionic cloud with respect t the particle surface creates a dipole moment. The sum of these dipole moments over many particles creates an electric field, which is measured as the electroacoustic vibration current (CVI). This filed depends on the value of zeta potential, which is calculated applying an appropriate theory. Furthermore, other colloidal parameter like dynamic mobility, Debye length and surface charge can be determined.
Sampling:
10 g of the test item (powder) was added to 90 g deionized water (10.0 wt.%). This suspension was stirred for 5 minutes using a standard lab dissolver. The zeta potential was measured using the DT-300. All measurements were carried out three times.
The particle size of the test item for calculation (particle size) was measured with laser diffraction method.
