Key result
Surface tension:
44.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
90 other: % saturation
Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 90% saturated solution of the test item is 44.5 mN/m at 20°C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was conducted in a GLP-compliant ring balance test following OECD guideline 115 (Envigo 2018). The study is considered to be relevant and reliable for use for this endpoint (Klimisch 1). The surface tension of a 90% saturated solution of the test item is 44.5 mN/m at 20°C. The test item was considered to be surface-active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a 90% saturated solution of the test item is 44.5 mN/m at 20°C. The test item was considered to be surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
44.5

Additional information

The surface tension of lithium naphthenate was determined in a GLP-compliant ring balance test following OECD guideline 115 (Envigo 2018). The study is considered to be relevant and reliable for use for this endpoint. Lithium naphthenate has a surface tension below 60 mN/m and is therefore regarded as being surface active.
