Selected literature values for surface tension of liquids
Here you find as an excerpt of our literature and substance database a list of liquids and their surface tension values.
More detailed information are available on request:
- the disperse and polar parts of the surface energy
- the acid-base components of the polar parts
- the hydrogen-bonding fraction (Extended FOWKES method)
- the information on the temperature range of the performed measurements
Using the Information database, our customers have a direct access to these enhanced data.
This list represents only a selection and therefore it does not claim completeness.
