 Individual Results

The water solubility was stated to be 0.5 g/l. Therefore a solution of 0.1006 g in 200 ml water was prepared. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 69 h. Subsequently the solution was filtered and diluted to 90 % (the test item was not completely solved at the end of the stirring time). The measurement of thesurface tension with the test itemwas carried out at 20 ±0.5°C.

Mean value: sigma = 60.22 mN/m (corrected by Zuidema and Waters)

Due to the fact that the surface tension is higher than 60 mN/m, the test item has no surface-active properties.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the aqueous solution at 20 °C is sigma = 60.2 mN/m. The test item has no surface-active properties.
Executive summary:

Mean value: sigma = 60.22 mN/m (corrected by Zuidema and Waters)

Due to the fact that the surface tension is higher than 60 mN/m, the test item has no surface-active properties.
