- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name
Fosfotex C16/18 DEA
Composition see Composition 1.2
Storage
room temperature (20 ± 5 °C) - Key result
- Surface tension:
- < 60 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Conc.:
- 103.26 mg/L
- Conclusions:
- surface tension < 60 mN/m. B The test item has surface active properties.
- Executive summary:
The substance Fosfotex C16/18 DEA was tested according to OECD115, EU A.5, not in GLP.
Surface tension of Fosfotex C16/18 DEA was lower than 60 mN/m, the test substance can be classified as:
surface active in a concentration of 103.26 mg test substance/L (in a solution at 90% saturation obtained from an aqueous solution prepared with 1.00 g/L of test item slow-shaking in standing position for 3 days).
Because the test item shows a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m, the test item has surface active properties.
Surface activity is a desired property of the material.
Reference
The calculated value for the surface tension of H2O at 19.7 °C is: 72.78 mN/m
During a certain period of time, no significant changes (second and third measurement series) in the surface tension were detected. In dependence on time and temperature, values between 44.08 and 50.57 mN/m were recorded showing no significant variations.
As the determined surface tension of Fosfotex C16/18 DEA was lower than 60 mN/m, the test substance can be classified as:
surface active in a concentration of 103.26 mg test substance/L(in a solution at 90% saturation obtained from an aqueous solution prepared with 1.00 g/L of test item slow-shaking in standing position for 3 days).
Description of key information
Surface tension < 60 mN/m at 193.26 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Surface tension:
- 60
- in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
- 20
Additional information
The test item was tested according to OECD115, EU A.5.
Because the test item shows a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m, the test item has surface active properties.
Surface activity is a desired property of the material.
