Executive summary:

The study was performed in year 2006 in accordance with Directive 92/69/EEC, EU Method A.5 (ring method) and OECD guideline 115.

The surface tension of a 1 g/l aqueous solution of the test substance was found to be 30.5 mN/m at 20 °C (Harkins-Jordan corrected value). The test substance is considered to be surface active.
