The aqueous solution of the test item had a mean surface tension of 62.9 mN/m. This is > 60 mN/m, therefore the test item has no surface active properties.

Description of key information

62.9 mN/m (OECD 115, tensiometric method)
The test item has no surface active properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
62.9
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
999.6
