Conclusions:
D-8 was tested for surface tension of aqueous solutions of the test material according to EU Method A.5. The surface tension of a solution of 0.0293 g of test material was detected to 68.6 mN/m at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C. The test material is not considered to be a surface-active material.
Executive summary:

D-8 was tested for surface tension of aqueous solutions of the test material. Substances having a surface tension below 60 mN/m are regarded as being surface-active, as stated in method A.5 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. The surface tension of a solution of 0.0293 g of test material was detected to 68.6 mN/m at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C. The test material is not considered to be a surface-active material.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a solution of 0.0293 g of test material was detected to 68.6 mN/m at 21.5 ± 0.5 °C. Thus, the test material was not surface-active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
68.6
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
29.3

Additional information
