Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
the surface tension of DMS is determined to be 40.1 mN/cm at 18°C. Due to the fact that the suface tension is <60 mN/cm, the test item is classified as surface-active substance.
