Mean Sample 1 result : 74.6 mN/m       pH of Sample 1 : 6.3

Mean Sample 2 result : 74.3 mN/m       pH of Sample 2 : 6.3

Overall result : 74.5 ± 0.5 mN/m

Overall temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 ºC

Discussion

According to criteria stated in EC Method A.5, substances showing a surface tension lower

than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be regarded as being surface

active.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a solution of test item in water at a nominal 1 g/L has been determined
to be 74.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered to be not surface active.
Executive summary:

74.5 ± 0.5 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C (nominal 1 g/L solution), using a ring

method, designed to be compatible with Method A5 Surface Tension of Commission

Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 115 of the OECD Guidelines for

Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The test item was considered to be not surface-active.
