Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: ca. 200 mg / 200 ml

The test item solution was held at constant temperature (20.0 ± 0.5 °C) in a temperature controlled room. The surface tension ofBenzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%)aqueous solution (ca. 200 mg / 200 ml) was found to be 51.5 (277 sec*), 50.2 (274 sec*), 51.0 (278 sec*), 49.8 (312 sec*), 51.4 (451 sec*) and 51.2 mN/m (491 sec*) (resulting a mean value 51 mN/m) atusing the ring method.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) aqueous solution (ca. 200 mg / 200 ml) was found to be 51.5, 50.2, 51.0, 49.8, 51.4 and 51.2 mN/m (resulting a mean value 51 mN/m) at 20 °C using the ring method.

As this value is lower than 60 mN/m, Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) is classified as surface active.
Executive summary:

The free surface enthalpy per unit of surface area is referred to as surface tension.

The ring method is based on the measurement of the maximum force which is necessary to exert vertically on a ring, in contact with the surface of the liquid, in order to stretch the liquid film beneath the ring.The objective of this study was to determine the surface tension of the solution of the test item.

In the course of this study aqueous solution was prepared containing 1 g/L concentration of Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%). Surface tension of this solution was determined applying the ring method. The test was performed with the help of Krüss Easy Dyne type tensiometer.

The surface tension of Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) aqueous solution (ca. 200 mg / 200 ml) was found to be51.5, 50.2, 51.0, 49.8, 51.4 and 51.2 mN/m (resulting a mean value 51 mN/m) atusing the ring method. As this value is lower than 60 mN/m, Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) is classified as surface active.

 

Description of key information

The test item solution was held at constant temperature (20.0 ± 0.5 °C) in a temperature controlled room. The surface tension of Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) aqueous solution (ca. 200 mg / 200 ml) was found to be at a mean value of 51 mN/m at 20 °C using the ring method.

As this value is lower than 60 mN/m, Benzene, 1,1’-oxybis(methyl-, sulfonated, ammonium salt (ca 50%) is classified as surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
