Results and discussion

Surface tensionopen allclose all
Surface tension:
>= 58.1 - <= 59.4 mN/m
Temp.:
20.3 °C
Conc.:
31 mg/L
Remarks on result:
other: Determination was performed at 90% of saturation (= the maximum water solubility). Values are means of six measurements in two separate series.
Surface tension:
>= 59.1 - <= 60.6 mN/m
Temp.:
20.3 °C
Conc.:
31 mg/L
Remarks on result:
other: Values after correction according to Harkins and Jordan.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The value for surface tension of purified water was 70.23 mN/m.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Considering a rounded average value of 60 mN/m, this value corresponds to the limiting value for regarding a substance as surface active. Therefore, p-cyclopropylketoester is not to be considered as surface active, although a > 90-% saturation may affect significantly the surface tension of the solution.
