Conclusions:
The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 73.2 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered not to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 73.2 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered not to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 73.2 mN/m. According to this, 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane is considered not to be surface active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
73.2

Additional information

A GLP-compliant study, conducted according to OECD Guideline 115 (OECD harmonised ring method) was provided for 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-tridecafluorohexane (Charles River Laboratories Den Bosch BV., 2017a).
