Key result
Surface tension:
68 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
400 mg/L
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) at 90 % of the saturation concentration was determined to be 68 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) was based on OECD guideline No. 115 and EU method A.5. The determination of the surface tension was accomplished by means of a tensiometer based on the ring method of Lecomte de Noüy. The force which is required to withdraw a horizontally suspended ring from the surface of the solution was measured. The surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) at 90 % of the saturation concentration was determined to be 68 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the guidelines, it was concluded that the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) should not be regarded as a surface active material.
