Conclusions:
The mean surface tension was determined to be 71.1 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined in an experimental study under GLP conditions according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.5. and OECD Test Guideline 115 using the ring method. The surface tension was determined with a test item concentration of 1.0117 g/L at 20 °C. The mean surface tension was 71.1 mN/m. Due to the fact that the surface tension is higher than 60 mN/m, the test item is not regarded as surface-active.

Description of key information

The mean surface tension was determined to be 71.1 mN/m (reference 4.10-1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
71.1
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
