Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
19 Apr 1995
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)
Version / remarks:
1981
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ISO 304 ("Surface active agents - Determination of Suface Tension by Drawing up Liquid Films")
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
plate method
Remarks:
The Wilhelmy plate method was preferred because it allows a better assessment of the time dependence of the surface tension, if present.
Key result
Surface tension:
>= 64.1 - <= 64.9 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
0.1 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: results based on two experiments

Results of surface tension determinations of the substance

- At 0.1 g/L: Correction factor Ob = 72.75/ (σ water,exp) = 72.75/ 73.2 = 0.994

- Time dependence of surface tension observed: No

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the duplicate at 0.1 g/L solutions of test substance in water has been determined to range between 64.1 - 64.9 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test substance has been determined using the Wilhelmy plate method in accordance with OECD TG 115 and in compliance with GLP. The surface tension of the duplicate at 0.1 g/L solutions of test substance in water has been determined in the range of 64.1 - 64.9 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.

Description of key information
