Remarks on result:
other: Surface tension of the aqueous solution
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surtace tension of the substance as such and when diluted in aqueous solutions were determined to be 36.66 mN/m and 42.05 mN/m, respectively at 23°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance, according to OECD guideline 115. The static surface tension of the test substance as such as well as its diluted aqueous solution (12 g/L) were determined according to the ring method using a K10ST digital tensiometer of Krüssm at room temperature. The surface tension is calculated according tog=Ff/4pRwhereFis the maximum equilibrium force andfis a correction factor which accounts for the volume of the raised liquid, the ring and the wire radii.

Under the study conditions, the surtace tension of the substance as such and when diluted in aqueous solutions were determined to be 36.66 mN/m and 42.05 mN/m, respectively at 23°C.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test substance was determined according to OECD guideline 115 (Herssens, 2013).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
42.05
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
