Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
08 Jun 1994
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ISO 304 "Surface active agents - Determination of surface tension by drawing up liquid films"
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
plate method
Remarks:
Wilhelmy plate method (ISO 304)
Surface tension:
>= 69.4 - <= 72.3 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
10 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: the Conc. was a filtrate of 10.00 g/L

Correction factor Ob = 72.75 / σ (water,exp) = 72.75 / 73.6 = 0.989

Conclusions:
The surface tension of 10.0 g/L filtrates of test item has been determined in duplicated and was between 69.4 - 72.3 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item has been determined using the plate method in accordance with OECD TG 115 and in compliance with GLP. The surface tension of two measurements of 10.0 g/L filtrates of test item in water has been determined between 69.4 - 72.3 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.
