Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item was assessed in accordance with OECD Guideline 115. The surface tension of test item prepared at 90 % saturation in water was determined to be 32.0 mN/m at 22.0 ± 0.5°C. The test item was considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The determination was carried out by a ring method using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.5 Surface Tension of Commission (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

RESULTS

The surface tension of test item prepared at 90 % saturation in water was determined to be 32.0 mN/m at 22.0 ± 0.5°C.

CONCLUSION

The test item was considered to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test item was assessed in accordance with OECD Guideline 115.  The surface tension of test item prepared at 90 % saturation in water was determined to be 32.0 mN/m at 22.0 ± 0.5°C. The test item was considered to be surface active.
