Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The value is taken from the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia (peer reviewed data cited in HSDB but the method was not described).
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The method was not described, the data is issued from an excerpt of the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (data available on HSDB).
GLP compliance:
not specified
Surface tension:
33.83 other: dynes/cm
Remarks on result:
other: The temperature and concentration were not indicated

= 0.03383 N/m

Executive summary:

Surface tension was 33830 mN/m, as compared to around 79 mN/m for water. Therefore the test item is not surface active.
