Key result
Surface tension:
43.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1.029 g/L
Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item in water at a concentration of 1.029 g/L is 43.5 mN/m. Based on the criteria as outlined in the guideline, it is concluded that the test item should be regarded as a surface active material.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of teh test item was based on EEC-Directive 92/69 EEC, A.5 "Surface tension" (1992). The surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test item at a concentration of 1.029 g/L was 43.5 mN/m. Temperature of measurement was 20.0°C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the guideline, it is concluded that the test item should be regarded as a surface active material.
