Results and discussion

Surface tension
Surface tension:
72.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

Any other information on results incl. tables

Overall mean calibration corrected surface tension = 72.5 mN/m

Harkins-Jordan* corrected value = 71.5 mN/m

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 1 g/l solution of L-TME was found to be 71.5 mN/m. As the result is greater than 60 mN/m, L-TME was not considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of L-TME was evaluated in accordance to OECD 115. Using a 1 g/l solution of L-TME, the surface tension was found to be 71.5 mN/m, hence TME was not considered to be surface active.
