Conclusions:
The surface tension of Balsalazide acid in an aqueous solution at 90% of its saturation was found to be 67.1 mN/m at 20°C. Therefore, Balsalazide acid is not regarded as a surface-active material.

Description of key information

The surface tension of the test item, Balsalazide acid was determined according to OECD Guideline 115 and EC Method A.5 at 20°C and was found to be 67.1 mN/m in an aqueous solution at 90% of its saturation. Therefore, Balsalazide acid is not regarded as a surface active material.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
67.1
