Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch/Lot number: 2161004
Appearance: White to light yellow flakes
Purity: 99.41%
Expiry date: 31 January 2018

Key result
Surface tension:
72 mN/m
Temp.:
21 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Concentration not available.

The surface tension of the test item aqueous solution read on the instrument was 70.7 mN/m at 21±0.5 °C using the ring method representing the mean of five separate measurements. The measured values were corrected with Harkins-Jordan correction factor.

The measured surface tension was multiplied by ϕa resulting in a corrected surface tension of 72.0 mN/m.

As the surface tension value was higher than 60 mN/m, NIPAM is not classified as surface active.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item aqueous solution read on the instrument was 70.7 mN/m at 21±0.5 °C using the ring method representing the mean of five separate measurements.
The measured surface tension was multiplied by ϕa resulting in a corrected surface tension of 72.0 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension was carried out on the test item, with the use of a Krüss K11 Tensiometer by ring method. The value was found to be 72.0 mN/m.

As the surface tension value was higher than 60 mN/m, NIPAM is not classified as surface active.
