Key result
Surface tension:
28.4 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
90 vol%

Reference measurement with purified water

Mean value: 70.6mN/m

Standard deviation: 0.05mN/m

For calculation of mean value and standard deviation only the values of constant measurements obtained between 1300s up to end of run were considered.

Preparation of test item, 1st run

Mean value: 28.4mN/m

Standard deviation: 0.08mN/m

For calculation of mean value and standard deviation only the values of constant measurements obtained between 3900s up to end of run were considered.

Preparation of test item, 2nd run

Mean value: 28.4mN/m

Standard deviation: 0.06mN/m

For calculation of mean value and standard deviation only the values of constant measurements obtained between 2300s up to end of run were considered.

The surface tension of the test substance is 28.4 mN/m at 20°C (90% saturation concentration).

Conclusions:
The surface tension of test substance was determined to be 28.4 mN/m at 20°C.

Description of key information

28.4 mN/m at 20°C of a 90 vol% saturation concentration.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The determination was carried out by ring method according to OECD Guideline 115.

The test substance is regarded as surface-active.
