Conclusions:
The surface tension (OECD harmonized ring method) was determined to be 71.2 mN/m.
Executive summary:

In this GLP guideline study conducted using the OECD harmonized ring method based on the procedures described in  OECD Guidline 115 and E.U method A.5, the surface tension at a test concentration of 1000 mg/L at 20 deg. Celsius was determined to be 71.2 mN/m. Given this result, the suface tension of aqueous solutions is not expected to play a significant role in assessing environmental fate or aquatic toxicity of this substance.

Description of key information

In a GLP guideline study conducted using the OECD harmonized ring method based on the procedures described in  OECD Guidline 115 and E.U method A.5, the surface tension, at a test concentration of 1000 mg/L at 20 deg. Celsius, was determined to be 71.2 mN/m. Given this result, the suface tension of aqueous solutions is not expected to play a significant role in assessing environmental fate or aquatic toxicity of this substance.
