Result:

Test	Time [min]	Surface tension at 20 °C [mN/m]
1^st value	10	72.3
2^nd value	37	72.2
3^nd value	65	72.1
4^nd value	103	72.2
Mean value	---	72.2

For verification of the measured values the surface tension of demineralized water was also measured. With a correspondence of the measured value σ (20 °C) = 72.5 mN/m, to the theoretical value σ (20 °C) = 72.75 mN/m, cited in literature, the determination of the surface tension of PDI is considered as valid.

Conclusions:

The surface tension is 72.2 mN/m (diluted to 1 g/L in water at 20°C)

Executive summary:

According to EU Method A. 5 the surface tension is 72.2 mN/m. A commercially available tensiometer based on the plate method has been used to measure the force which is required to withdraw a horizontally suspended plate from the surface of the test item. The surface tension was determined in a solution of 1.0003 g test item in 1 L demineralized water (approx. 1 g/L) at 20 °C. After 24 h stirring a clear measuring solution was obtained and no particles were visible. For verification of the measured values the surface tension of demineralized water was also measured. With a correspondence of the measured value σ (20 °C) = 72.5 mN/m, to the theoretical value σ (20 °C) = 72.75 mN/m, cited in literature, the determination of the surface tension of PDI item is considered as valid.

Additional information

For verification of the measured values the surface tension of demineralized water was also measured. With a correspondence of the measured value σ (20 °C) = 72.5 mN/m, to the theoretical value σ (20 °C) = 72.75 mN/m, cited in literature, the determination of the surface tension of the substance is considered as valid.

It should be made clear that the substance hydrolyses rapidly and thus during measurement most of the substance had been disappeared.
