Description of key information

66.6 mN/m at 20.5 °C (90 % of saturation concentration)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The surface tension of Lanthanum carbonate was determined using a ring tensiometer according to OECD 115 under GLP conditions (Weissenfeld 2006). An aqueous solution was prepared by weighing 206.61 mg of test item in a 200 mL flask. This flask was then filled up to the mark with Milli-Q-Water. The mixture was stirred for about 24 hours, centrifuged for 5 minutes, filtrated, and diluted with 1/10 (v/v) mark with Milli-Q-Water. Recordings of surface tension were done on two samples of the test item solution, with six measurements per sample.

 

The surface tension of dilanthanum tricarbonate in water was determined to be 66.6 mN/m at 20.5 °C. Based on this result, the test item is not a surface active substance.
