Conclusions:
Surface tension of the test item was 36.25 nN/m.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined using the OECD harmonized ring method in accordance with OECD Guideline 115. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20°C was 36.25 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered to be surface active.
