Remarks:
Mean value of constant measurements

The surface tension of the aqueous solution of the test item (appoximately 90% of the water solubility) decreased during the measuring time of 105 min. The mean value of all measured surface tension was calculated to be 33.2 mN/m and the mean value of the last constant measurements was calculated to be 28.6 mN/m at 20 °C± 0.3 °C.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the aqueous solution (approximately 90% of the water solubility) of Dermosoft DGMC, reaction mass of 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl decanoate and 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl decanoate was determined to be 28.6 mN/m 20 °C± 0.3 °C. (mean value of constant measurements).
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined in a guideline study (OECD 115, EU method A.5 and DIN EN 14370) by means of a ring tensiometer. The study was done according to GLP.

The surface tension of the aqueous solution (approximately 90% of the water solubility) of Dermosoft DGMC, reaction mass of 3-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl decanoate and 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl decanoate was determined to be 28.6 mN/m 20 °C± 0.3 °C (mean value of constant measurements).
