Conclusions:
The surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test item at a concentration of 1.007 g/L was 63.9 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test item was based on EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, A.5 "Surface tension" (1992) and OECD guideline no. 115: "Surface tension of aqueous solutions", July 27, 1995. The surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test item at a concentration of 1.007 g/L was 63.9 mN/m. The temperature of measurement was 20.0 ± 1.0°C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the guideline, it is concluded that the test item should not be regarded as a surface active material.

Description of key information
