Specific details on test material used for the study:
FAT Number: FAT 75637/A TE
Lot: BS-61
Appearance: Yellowish powder
The test item was measured with a 0.25 % (w/w) solution.
Surface tension:
56.304 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The variation of specification factor was 0.008 mN/m.
Conclusions:
The surface tension of FAT 75367/A was determined to be 56.304 mN/m at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of the test item was based on OECD Guideline No. 115: “Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions” (1995) and on the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, methods for the determination of physio-chemical properties, A5 “Surface Tension”, EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the surface tension of an aqueous solution of FAT 75637/A by means of a Tensiometer (Wilhelmy Plate Method). Based on the findings of the study, the surface tension of FAT 75637/A TE was determined to be 56.304 mN/m at 20 °C. The variation of specification factor was 0.008 mN/m.
