Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

“For the determination of the surface tension read-across is usually not possible. However interpolation may still be possible within homologous series.” [ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 3.0, August 2014].
Even if different cesium salts do not fit in the concept of homologous series, there are values for five cesium salts in water at 20 °C according to OECD 115 and EU A.5 available.
Cesium iodide                       69.2 mN/m (at 1.0 g/L)
Cesium hydroxide *H2O        71.1 mN/m (at 1.0 g/L)
Cesium sulphate                    71.1 mN/m (at 1.0 g/L)
Cesium nitrate                       72.5 mN/m (at 1.0 g/L)
Cesium chloride                     72.8 mN/m (at 1.0 g/L)
 
Cesium salts change in a concentration of 1.0 g/L change the surface tension of water marginally. From the experience with five cesium salts it can be concluded that the surface tension of cesium carbonate is between 69.2 and 72.8 mN/m (20 °C; 1.0 g/L).
