Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The test item has a mean surface tension of 46.6 mN/m. Thus, the test item is to be regarded as surface active.

Description of key information

46.6 mN/m at 20 °C and concentration in 1 g/L (OECD 115, A.5.)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
46.6
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
