Conclusions:
The surface tension of an aqueous solution of (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one at a concentration of 0.988 g/l is 72.3 mN/m. Temperature of measurement: 20.0 ± 0.5°C.
Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC guideline, (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one should not be regarded as a surface active material.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of an aqueous solution of (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one at a concentration of 0.988 g/l is 72.3 mN/m. Temperature of measurement: 20.0 ± 0.5°C. 


Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC guideline, (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one should not be regarded as a surface active material.
