Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
A platinum ring with a reduced circumference of 4 cm was used, whereas the guidelines specify 6 cm. This procedure with respect to the reduced ring dimensions has been considered not to have affected the integrity of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of duplicate 90% saturated solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 40.7±0.5 mN/m at 21.8±0.5ºC. The test item is considered to be surface-active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of duplicate 90% saturated solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 40.7±0.5 mN/m at 21.8±0.5ºC, using a ring method, designed to be compatible with Method A5 and Method 115 of the OECD Guideline. The test item is considered to be surface-active.
