Key result
Surface tension:
29.83 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Conclusions:
The present study was performed in order to determine the surface tension of Rhamnolipid according to OECD Test Guideline 115 (1995) and Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.5. An aqueous solution (1 g/L) of the test item revealed a surface tension of 29.83 mN/m, therefore the substance is considered to be surface active in comparison to water.
Executive summary:

According to OECD Test Guideline 115 the surface tension of Rhamnolipid was determined using the ring method. The mean surface tension was determined to be 29.83 mN/m at 20°C (1 g/L).
