1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Wilhelmy plate method used
Qualifier:
according to guideline

RESULTS

Surface tension by the Wilhelmy plate method: (ISO 304)

 

- Temperature: 20±0.3 °C

1. Solution prepared: date 28.01.1992; time 08.00

1. Solution measured: date 28.01.1992; time 10.00

2. Solution prepared: date 28.01.1992; time 08.05

2. Solution measured: date 28.01.1992; time 10.30

 

Time dependence of surface tension observed: Yes 10 g/l

Conclusions:
Surface tension of aqueous solution (20 °C) is 64.8 - 68.2 mN/m.

Executive summary:

The surface tension study was conducted with DMPPA_701-402-5 as per EEC TG A.5 guideline using Wilhelmy plate method. Based on the study results, surface tension of aqueous solution (20 °C) = 64.8 - 68.2 mN/m at c = 10.0 g/l after 15 min.

Description of key information

The surface tension study was conducted with DMPPA_701-402-5 as per EEC TG A.5 guideline using Wilhelmy plate method. Based on the study results, surface tension of aqueous solution (20 °C) = 64.8 - 68.2 mN/m at c = 10.0 g/l after 15 min. Thus, the substance is considered as not surface-active.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
64.8
