Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item was determined to be 24.9 mN/m at 21 °C using a solution concentration of 1 g/L.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was measured in a study performed according to EU Method A.5 as described in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 and OECD TG 115. The test was performed in duplicate using test item concentrations of 1g/L in HPLC Gradient Grade water at 21 °C. Measurements were made using solutions aged for 99 minutes (first test) and 190 minutes (second test). Six single measurements were made per solution over a measuring time of more than 2000 seconds per solution. Both solutions were in an equilibrium state after approximately 600 seconds. The calibration factor-corrected mean surface tension was 24.9 mN/m.
