Surface tension:
64.56 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
90 other: % saturated aqueous solution
Remarks on result:
other: standard deviation: 0.05 mN/m

Due to the fact that the surface tension is > 60mN/m, Zincum SW/F is classified not surface-active.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 90 % saturated aqueous solution of ZINCUM SW/F was 64.56 mN/m (standard deviation 0.05 mN/m).
Due to the fact that the surface tension is > 60 mN/m, Zincum SW/F is classified as not surface-active substance.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a 90% saturated aqueous solution at 20 °C is 64.56 mN/m . Fatty acids, C16 -18, zinc salts has no surface-active properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The surface tension of a 90 % saturated aqueous solution of Fatty acids, C16 -C18, zinc salts was determined to be 64.56 nM/m (standard deviation 0.05 mN/m). Due to the fact that the surface tension is > 60 mN/m, Fatty acids, C16 -18, zinc salts is classified as not surface-active substance.
