Conclusions:
The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension of Acetic acid, oxo-, sodium salt, reaction products with ethanolamine and phenol, sodium hydroxide and ferric chloride.
The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20°C was 42.37 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension ofAcetic acid, oxo-, sodium salt, reaction products with ethanolamine and phenol, sodium hydroxide and ferric chloride.

The surface tension of a test solution at a concentration of 1 g/L in water and at 20°C was 42.37 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered to be surface active.
