Conclusions:
The OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of sodium aluminate. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20 °C was 74.3 mN/m. According to this, the test substance is considered not to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of sodium aluminate. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20 °C was 74.3 mN/m. According to this, the test substance is considered not to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20 °C was 74.3 mN/m.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:

Additional information

Test result refers to sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) aqueous solution (38.3%) containing excess disodium oxide (Na2O) as stabiliser.

The OECD harmonized ring method was used for the determination of the surface tension of sodium aluminate. The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20 °C was 74.3 mN/m (Brekelmans 2010). According to this, the test substance is considered not to be surface active.
