Conclusions:
The mean surface tension of duplicate 1.0 g/L solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 72.4 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. The test item was considered not to be surface-active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the substance was determined in a GLP-compliant study according to test method EU Method A.5 and OECD guideline 115 to be 72.4 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C and 1 g/L following the ring method (K1 study, Covance, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
72.4
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
