Individual Results of the Measurement of the Surface Tension

The surface tension values of the two aqueous solutions of the test item were determined.

The measurement was carried out at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C. A correction factor (Harkins & Jordan) is included. The age of the test solutions at the beginning of the measurement was 25 hours 20 minutes for the first test solution and 25 hours 56 minutes for the second test solution. The age of the test solution is defined as the period of time from the preparation of the solution to the recording of the surface tension value.

Description of key information

The determination of the surface tension was carried out according to the ring tensiometer method (OECD Guideline 115 (EU Method A.5). The surface tension of pure test substance was determined to be 62.9 mN/m at 20 °C at a concentration corresponding to 90% of the solubility in water and the surface tension of technical grade active substance was determined to be: 56.2 mN/m at 20 °C at a concentration corresponding to 90% of the saturation concentration in water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
