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

The measured surface tension was multiplied by the calibration factor (0.9992), resulting in a corrected surface tension of 71.8 mN/m.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of an aqeous test solution of Sodium (S)-lactate at a concentration of 1.07 g/L at 20 °C was 71.8 mN/m.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study conducted according to OECD 115 and EU Method A.5, the OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of Sodium (S)-lactate. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1.07 g/L was 71.8 mN/m at 20.0 °C. According to this, the test substance is considered not to be surface active (< 60 mN/m).
