Surface tension
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)

- Key result
- Surface tension:
- 38.5 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Conc.:
- 12.2 mg/L
- Conclusions:
- At 90% of the above the estimated solubility limit (i.e. 12.5 mg/L), using the determined surface tension concentration dependence, the surface tension was calculated to be 38.5 mN/m.
- Executive summary:
The surface tension of the test material was determined according to OECD Guideline 115. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was equivalent to 13.6 mg/L. This value was used as an approximation of the water solubility limit. At 90% of the above the estimated solubility limit (i.e. 12.5 mg/L), using the determined surface tension concentration dependence, the surface tension was calculated to be 38.5 mN/m (Lewandowska, 2010).
Reference
The CMC of the test material was found to be 13.6 mg/L and at 90% of this concentration, i.e., 12.2 mg/L, the surface tension was determined to be 38.5 mN/m.
An analysis of variance test revealed that there is no statistically significant difference (at P = 0.484) of the mean values between pure water and water containing 0.1 – 0.5 mL/L of methanol. It can therefore be assumed that a methanol content within this range has no impact on the surface tension of the test solutions.
Description of key information
The surface tension was determined according to OECD Guideline 115 (Lewandowska, 2010).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
