Key result
Surface tension:
51.4 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
90 vol%
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the saturation solubility in water and at 20.2°C was 51.4 mN/m. According to this, the test substance is considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determinethe surface tension of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 115 and EU Method A.5.The OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of the test substance. Under the study conditions, the surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the saturation solubility in water and at 20.2°C was 51.4 mN/m. According to this, the test substance is considered to be surface active (Baltussen, 2008).

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance using ring method according to method sillilar to OECD Guideline 115. Under the study conditions, the surface tension of 0.202g test substance in L milliQ water was 51.6 mN/m (Boutreau, 2008).
