Conclusions:

The mean surface tension of test item solution at 1g/L of active ingredient (corresponding to 1.33 g solid content/L): 37.5 ± 0.2 mN/m (corrected value).
The test item was considered as surface-active in the experimental conditions used.

Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item (= substance EC 939-455-3 in aqueous commercial product) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions) and EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension). The mean surface tension of a test item solution at 1g/L of active ingredient (corresponding to 1.33 g solid content/L) was 37.5 ± 0.2 mN/m. The test item was considered as surface-active in the experimental conditions used.

The study was performed on a commercial product (aqueous solution) as the substance EC 939-455-3 is manufactured and used in a liquid form.
