Key result
Surface tension:
67.41 mN/m
Temp.:
19.6 °C
Conc.:
0.1 vol%
Remarks on result:
other: Mean value from 2 samples with 5 measurements each

Details are given as attached background material.

Conclusions:
According to the criteria mentioned in OECD Guideline 115, substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of this method should be considered surface active.
Test item surface tension in water was determined to be 67.4 mN/m at 19.6 ± 0,1 °C, therefore the substance is not surface active.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the substance was based on the OECD Guideline 115, using the ring method. The calibration factor of the tensiometer used was determined to be 1.0304.

Two different experiments were performed using two different samples. Surface tension was measured 5 times for each sample. The surface tension of test item, calculated as the mean value of all measurements and corrected for calibration and correction factors, was found to be 67.4 mN/m at 19.6 ± 0.1 °C (test item concentration was approximately 0.1%). Therefore, according to criteria in the guidline document, the substance is not considered as surface active material.

Description of key information

In a study according to OECD TG 115, using the ring method, surface tension of the substance was determined to be 67.4 mN/m at 19.6 ± 0.1 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
67.4
