Key result

Surface tension:

61.3 mN/m

Temp.:

20 °C

Conc.:

1 g/L

Conclusions:

The surface tension of a 1.0 g/L solution of the substance in water was determined to be 61.3 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C.

Executive summary:

The surface tension of a 1.0 g/L solution of the substance in water was studied under GLP in accordance with OECD TG 115, using a tensiometer and applying the ring method. Two test solutions were prepared by diluting an aliquot of test substance in high purity water and diluting to the proper concentration, then shaking for 70.5 hours and re-equalibrating the test solution at 20 °C. The surface tension was then determined with a tensiometer at a temperature of 20 °C, and determinations were repeated until a consistent value was obtained. The average surface tension determined for the two test solutions was 61.3 mN/m at 20 ± 0.5 °C.
