There is no significant difference between the surface tension values of the 0.50% solution and the 0.05% solution

Conclusions:
The substance is not surface active.
Executive summary:

The objective of the study was to evaluate the surface tension of two aqueous solutions of the substance (0.05 and 0.5% w/w) using the Wilhelmy plate method. Mean surface tension values of the 0.50% and the 0.05% solution were 72.60 and 72.75 mN/m. Hence, the substance has no surface activity.

Description of key information

The substance did not have surfactant properties when tested at two concentrations (500 and 5000 mg/L) with the plate method. The results are consistent with those of CB[8], which had a surface tension of 72.7 mN/m in a GLP study using the ring method in accordance with OECD guideline 115 and EU method A5.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
72.7
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
