Conclusions:
The surface tension at 20°C of a 90% saturated aqueous solution of PEMP product was determined to be 65.8 mN/m.
Executive summary:

Using the OECD harmonized ring method in a GLP study according to EC A.5 and OECD 115, the surface tension at 20°C of a 90% saturated aqueous solution of PEMP product was determined to be 65.8 mN/m. According to the EC A.5 guideline the substance is not surface active.

Description of key information

 Surface tension at 20°C: 65.8 mN/m (EC A.5, OECD 115: OECD harmonised ring method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
65.8
