20 °C
Conc.:
0.072 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: Due to the fact that the surface tension is lower than 60 mN/m, the test item has surface-active properties.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the aqueous solution of the test item, stearic acid, cobalt salt, at 20 °C is sigma = 57.3 mN/m. Due to the fact that the surface tension is lower than 60 mN/m, the test item has surface-active properties.
