Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test Item Code: 2012-004738
Batch / Lot number: SZB9174XV
Active ingredient: Captan
Content of a.i. (analysed): 99.6 % (w/w)
Appearance / Colour: White powder
Certificate of Analysis: 21 March 2011
Expiry date: 23 June 2016
Storage conditions: Ambient temp., dark, dry
Key result
Surface tension:
63 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
90 vol%
Conclusions:
In the described surface tension test under the experimental conditions the results showed a surface tension > 60 mN/m. Therefore the test item has to
be regarded to be not surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of Captan was determined according to EC method A.5 and OECD 115.
The mean surface tension of a 90 % saturated aqueous solution of Captan was determined as 63 mN/m at 20 °C.
The results showed a surface tension > 60 mN/m. Therefore the test item has to be regarded to be not surface active.

Description of key information

The endpoint for surface tension is reported to be 63 mN/m at 20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
63
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 050
