SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 01-Jul-2022

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: at 20°C +/- 5°C, in the dark
Key result
Surface tension:
64.2 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

Surface Tension of Water: 72.8 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C

The test item which lowers the surface tension of the medium in which it is dissolved, and/or the interfacial tension with other phases, and, accordingly, is positively adsorbed at the liquid/vapour and/or at other interfaces - is a surface active test item.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the aqueous solution of the test item (1 g/L) changed after the start of the measurement for 45 min; after 45 min the values were constant. The mean value of all measured surface tension was calculated to be: 64.2 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined using a tensiometer. Surface Tension of Water: 72.8 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C. The surface tension of the aqueous solution of the test item (1 g/L) changed after the start of the measurement for 45 min; after 45 min the values were constant. The mean value of all measured surface tension was calculated to be: 64.2 mN/m at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C.
