Conclusions:
In a GLP-compliant study in accordance with EC A.5 and OECD 115 using the OECD harmonized ring method, the surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous test substance solution at 20°C has been determined as 73.4 mN/m. The substance is not surface active according to the criterium in the EC A.5 guideline.
