Additional information

In accordance with column 2 adaptation statement of Annex VII Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), the determination of the surface tension (as required in section 7.6 of Annex VII) does not need to be conducted if surface activity is not a desired property of the material. According to article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 the substance does not consist of one or more hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups of such nature and size that it is capable of reducing the surface tension.
