Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Surface tension:
71.86 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

First measurement:


First correction value, Sigma corrected 1:


First correction value ( sigma corrected 1) = 0.9402 * 76.43 mN/m = 71.859 mN/m


(76.43 mN/m surface tension of the testsubstance, first measurement)


Second correction value, sigma corrected 2:


sigma corrected 1 = 71.859 mN/m


sigma corrected 2 = -1.594 + 0.96115 * 71.859 mN/m + 0.00085 * ( 71.859 mN/m )2 = 71.86 mN/m


Result first measurement 71.86 mN/m


 


Second Measurement (after 30 minutes waiting):


First correction value, sigma corrected 1:


First correction value (sigma corrected 1) = 0.9402 * 76.56 mN/m = 71.98 mN/m
(76.56 mN/m surface tension of the testsubstance, second measurement)


Second correction value, sigma corrected 2:


sigma corrected 1 = 71.98 mN/m
sigma corrected 2 = -1.594 +0.96115 * 71.98 mN/m + 0.00085 * ( 71.98 mN/m ) * 2 = 71.99 mN/m


Result second measurement 71.99 mN/m


 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the surface tension:

























Target condition according to guideline 92/69/EWG A.5:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
A solution of the substance is prepared in distilled water. The concentration of this solution should be 90 % of the saturation solubility of the substance in water; when this concentration exceeds 1 g/ L, a concentration of 1 g/ L is used for testing.The water solubility was determined to be 5.6 g/L in another test (see "Water solubility"). Thus, a concentration of 1 g/L was used for testing. Yes
The measurement shall be made at approximately 20 °C and shall be controlled to within ± 0.5 °C.The stated temperature was 20 °C.Yes
The measurement results: individual readings, their arithmetic mean and the corrected mean; concentration of the solution should be stated.In this study, the value of the first measurement was stated as the main value. Thus, except for the arithmetic mean, the results are stated in demanded detail.Yes

 

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test substance was determined to be: 71.86 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test substance at 20°C and a concentration of 1.0 g/L was determined to be: 71.86 mN/m.

Description of key information
