Conclusions:
The surface tension of cerium trinitrate in water was determined to be 73.1 mN/m at 20.6 °C. Therefore, the test item is considered not to be a surface active substance.
Executive summary:

To determine the surface tension of the test item using a ring tensiometer, an aqueous solution was prepared by weighing 214.14 mg of test item in a 200 mL flask and filled up to the mark with double distilled water. After sonification for 4 minutes, the test item was completely dissolved. Thus, no further treatment was necessary. Recordings of surface tension were done on two samples of the test item solution, with six measurements per sample.

 

The surface tension of cerium trinitrate in water was determined to be 73.1 mN/m at 20.6 °C. Based on this result, the test item is not a surface active substance.

Description of key information

The surface tension of cerium trinitrate in water was determined in a GLP study to be 73.1 mN/m at 20.6 °C using the ring method in accordance with EC test method A.5 (Weissenfeld, 2006).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
73.1
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The test item is not a surface active substance.
