Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
07 August 2015 to 04 May 2016
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Study conducted to OECD and EC guidelines and in compliance with GLP
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
no

yes
Type of method:
OECD harmonised ring method
Key result
Surface tension:
> 71 - < 71.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: Overall mean calibration corrected surface tension = 71.5 mN/m (rounded to ± 0.5 mN/m) Harkins-Jordan* corrected value = 70.5 mN/m
Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of test material was found to be 70.5 mN/m. As the result was greater than 60 mN/m, the substance was not considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface activity of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 115 and EU Method A.5 following the OECD harmonised ring method.

Under the conditions of the study the surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of test material was found to be 70.5 mN/m. As the result was greater than 60 mN/m, the substance was not considered to be surface active.

Description of key information

The surface tension of a 1 g/L aqueous solution of the substance was 70.5 mN/m, OECD 115, EU Method A.5, Envigo CRS Ltd (2016).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
70.5
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000
