Fc: factor for correction acc. to Harkins-Jordan. Fc=0.994 for 67.07 mN/m and Fc=0.992 for 66.22 mN/m

Conclusions:

The surface tension of the test item in water (90% of saturation concentration) was determined to be 66.2 mN/m at 19.7 °C ± 0.1 °C. The study is considered to be adequate and reliable.

Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of the test item was based on the OECD Guideline No. 115: “Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions” (1995).

The surface tension of test item in water (90% of saturation concentration) was determined according to the ring method to be 66.2 mN/m at 19.7 °C ± 0.1 °C. The study is considered to be adequate and reliable. As the reported surface tension of the test substance is >60mN/m then the test substance should not be considered to be surface active (according to EU method 5).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:

Additional information

Only a single study conducted according to guidelines is available for this endpoint. The study is considered to be relevant, reliable (Klimisch 1) and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling. As the recorded value is >60mN/m then the test substance is not considered to be surface active.
