Key result
Surface tension:
65.3 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: The surface tension result is corrected for water calibration as well as for measurement ring parameters (Harkins-Jordan). Solution age was 10 minutes for test No 1 and 15 minutes for test No 2.

Calibration:

The measured value of the surface tension of water: 67.5 mN/m.

EC standard reading for surface tension of water: 72.75 mN/m.

Calibration factor is: 72.75/67.5 = 1.078

The calibration factor is determined by measuring the Surface Tension of water and comparing the value obtained in literature.

The corrected value for measurement ring parameters is taken from a table compiled on the basis of the Harkins-Jordan correction.

The duplicate runs provided following values: 65.8 mN/m for run 1 and 64.7 mN/m for run 2.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the substance was determined to be 65.3 mN/m at a test concentration of 1 g/L and at 20°C. The substance is concluded not to have surface active properties.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test substance was determined in a GLP-compliant study according to test method EC A.5, to be 65.3 mN/m at a test concentration of 1 g/L and at 20°C, following the ring method (Younis S, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
65.3
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000

Additional information

The substance is concluded not to have surface active properties.
