Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From October 2, 2009 to November 5, 2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:

Key result
Surface tension:
72.4 mN/m
Temp.:
21 °C
Conc.:
1.04 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: The test susbtance is not a surface active material

The test substance is not a surface active material, the pH of sample was 7.4.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 72.4 mN/m at 21°C.


 
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance according to EU Method A.5 and OECD Guideline 115, in compliance with GLP. An aqueous solution at ambient temperature of the test substance with a concentration of 1.04 g/L was prepared. Eight measurements at a temperature of 21°C, every 10 min, were done. The mean value was multiplied by the calibration factor. There was no correction with respect to the table given in EU Method A5 (Harkins-Jordan correction). Under the test conditions, the surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 72.4 mN/m at 21°C (Fox, 2009).

Endpoint:
surface tension
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because surface activity is not a desired property of the material

Description of key information

Solid form: the surface tension was determined according to EU Method A.5 and OECD Guideline 115.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
