Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Key result
Surface tension:
70.7 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be stated that under the conditions decribed 1 g/L of Lactic acid 93% has a surface tension value at 20 °C of 70.7 mN/m. Therefore, lactic acid 93% aq is considered as not surface active.
Executive summary:

The OECD harmonized ring method (OECD TG 115) was used for the determination of the surface tension of Lactic acid 93% aq. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L and at 20 °C was 70.7 mN/m. According to this, the test substance is considered as not surface active.

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For justification of read-across please refer to the attached read-across report (see IUCLID section 13).

Description of key information

In conclusion, it can be stated that under the conditions described 1 g/L of Lactic acid 93% has a surface tension value at 20 °C of 70.7 mN/m. Therefore, Lactic acid 93%  is considered as not surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
