Conclusions:
Surface tension (OECD 115) : 35.3 mN/m (at 20°C)
The test item is considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of aqueous solutions of the test item was determined compliant with GLP according to OECD guideline no. 115 [adopted on 27 July 1995] and EU test method A.5 [Directive 92/69/EEC, Official

Journal L 383 A 1992] with the ring method.

The reliable study produced the following results:

Surface tension (at 20°C): 35.3 mN/m

The test item is considered to be surface active.
