Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From May 26,2010 to May 26,2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Well described GLP compliant study conducted to recognized international test guidelines
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
stirrup method
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Fatty acids, C6-24 and C6-24-unsatd., Me esters, distn. residues- Physical state: black , brown semisolid- Analytical purity:100% - Storage condition of test material: room temperature- Solubility: < 10% in water, soluble in acetone, hexane and dichloromethane
Key result
Surface tension:
ca. 26.7 mN/m
Temp.:
22 °C
Conc.:
100 mg/L

The surface tension couldn’t be determined at a concentration of 1 g/L (the test item coudn't be dissolved). For the determination concentrations of 100 mg/L were dissolved after conditioning for 30 min in an ultrasonic bath. The solution was cloudy.

Conclusions:
The test item has a surface tension of 26.7 mN/m (c = 100 mg/l) according to the definition in the EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, method A.5. similar to OECD guideline for testing of chemicals OECD 115.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined in accordance with the test method A.5. "Surface Tension" as described in the Official Journal of the European Communities L383A. Similar to OECD guideline for testing of chemicals OECD 115.
