Key result
Surface tension:
35.4 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The test substance is considered to be surface active.

Calibration

The mean calculated from measurements 2 to 6, after equilibrium was reached, was 71.3 mN/m. The calibration factor was therefore calculated to be 1.02.

Conclusions:
The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension of the substance in accordance with OECD 115 (1995), EU Method A.5 (2008) and according to GLP principles. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g solids/l at 20°C was 35.4 mN/m. Therefore the substance is considered to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g solids/L at 20°C was 35.4 mN/m. Therefore the substance is considered to be surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
35.4
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000
