Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
5 mg/L

Remarks:
Harkins-Jordan corrected value

Quoted surface tension value is the Harkins-Jordan corrected value. Overall mean calibration corrected surface tension = 57.5 mN/m.

As the result was less than 60 mN/m the test item was considered to be surface active.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 90% saturated aqueous solution of SIBE 138 was found to be 55.5 mN/m. As the result was less than 60 mN/m, the test item was considered to be surface active.

Description of key information

Surface tension of a 90% saturated solution (approximately 5 mg/L) = 55.5 mN/m.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
55.5
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:

Additional information

In a study (Envigo, 2018) conducted according to EC guideline A5 / OECD guideline 115 and in compliance with GLP, a 90% saturated solution (approximately 5 mg/L) was found to have a surface tension of 55.5 mN/m at 20°C. As the surface tension was less than 60 mN/m the substance was considered to be surface active.
