Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Surface tension
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- surface tension
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because based on structure, surface activity is not expected or cannot be predicted

Description of key information
Not surface active
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
On the basis of structural examination, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is not expected to be surface active; surface activity is not a desired property of the substance. Therefore, the requirement for testing is waived in accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VII.
In a secondary source which has been subject to peer review and in which the original sources are traceable, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol was reported to have a surface tension of 37 mN/m. However, this relates to the pure substance and is considered not relevant for REACH registration because according to REACH Guidance R.7a, the surface tention of the aqueous solution is required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
