1Time passed since the solution was transferred to the measurement vessel.

2Because the surface tension of a test solution in the measurement vessel alters over a period of time, several measurements were performed until a state of equilibrium was reached.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 90% saturated solution of Hatcol 3331 in water is 72.6 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of HATCOL 3331 was based on EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, A.5 "Surface tension" (1992) and OECD guideline no. 115: "Surface tension of aqueous solutions", July 27, 1995.

The surface tension of an aqueous solution of Hatcol 3331 at a 90% saturated concentration was 72.6 mN/m. Temperature of measurement was 20.0 ± 0.5°C.

Based on the criteria as outlined in the guideline, it is concluded that Hatcol 3331 should not be regarded as a surface active material.

Conclusions:
In conclusion, the surface tension of a 90% saturated solution of Hatcol 5236 in water is 53.6 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of HATCOL 5236 was based on EEC-Directive 92169 EEC, A.5 "Surface tension" (1992) and OECD guideline no. 115: "Surface tension of aqueous solutions", July 27, 1995.

The surface tension of an aqueous solution of Hatcol 5236 at a 90% saturated concentration was 53.6 mN/m. Temperature of measurement was 20.0 ± 0.5°C.

Based on the criteria as outlined in the guideline, it is concluded that Hatcol 5236 should be regarded as a surface active material.
