Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/L test solution of Propyl (S)-lactate in water at 20 °C was 69.0 mN/m. The test substance is considered not to be surface active.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study the surface tension of PURASOLV®NPL (n-Propyl-S-lactate) was determined unsing the harmonized ring method in compliance with OECD 115 and EEC A.5.

The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water at 20 °C was 69.0 mN/m. The test substance is considered not to be surface active.

Description of key information

The OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of Propyl (S)-lactate. The surface tension of a test solution at a Propyl (S)-lactate concentration of 1 g/L in water at 20 °C was 69.0 mN/m. The test substance is therefore considered as not surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
