Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 26.3 mN/m at the concentration of 1017.5 mg/L at 20ºC.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance, using the ring method according to the OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 26.3 mN/m at the concentration of 1017.5 mg/L at 20ºC. Therefore, the test substance was considered to be surface-active (Hartmann, 2019).

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test substance was determined using the ring method according to OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5 (Hartmann, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
26.3
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
