Conclusions:
Surface tension (OECD 115, plate method): 53.4 mN/m at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of aqueous solutions of the test item was determined according to OECD guideline no. 115 [adopted on 27 July 1995] and EU test method A.5 [Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal L 383 A 1992] with the plate method.

Surface tension (at 20°C): 53.4 mN/m. The test item is considered to be surface active.
