Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- (see below)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The surface tension result was not corrected using the Harkins-Jordan correction table as the correction is not applicable to the apparatus used. Once calibrated, the balance and ring assembly used in this test give a direct reading for surface tension that is within the requried accuracy (± 0.5 mN/m); this is a result of the reduced ring dimensions. This deviation has been considered to not have affected the integrity of the study.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- ring method

Results and discussion
Surface tension
- Surface tension:
- 72 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 21.6 °C
- Conc.:
- 0.986 g/L
Any other information on results incl. tables
The calibration factor, by which the measured surface tension of the sample solution is multiplied, was determined using the following equation:
φ = VL/VM
where:
φ = calibration factor
VL= literature value for surface tension of water at test temperature (mN/m)
VM= measured value for surface tension of water at test temperature (mN/m)
The mean calibration factor is 1.003 which gives a surface tension of a 0.986 g/l solution of test material has been determined to be 72.0 mN/m at 21.6 ± 0.5°C. The test material is considered not to be a surface-active material.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The surface tension of a 0.986 g/l solution of test material has been determined to be 72.0 mN/m at 21.6 ± 0.5°C. The test material is considered not to be a surface-active material.
- Executive summary:
In a determination of general physico-chemical properties study (Harlan project number: 0959/0224) the test material has been determined to be 72.0 mN/m at 21.6 ± 0.5°C. The test material is considered not to be a surface-active material.
The determination was carried out using a White Electrical Institute interfacial tension balance and a procedure based on the ISO 304 ring method. With the exception of the following deviation, the experimental procedure used complied with that specified in Method A5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m should be regarded as being surface-active.
It is evident from the information obtained in the hydrolysis test and data relating to the pH of the test material in water that negligible hydrolysis of the sample solution occurred during the course of the surface tension test.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
