Conclusions:
The surface tension of naphthenic acids is about 31.8 mN/m

Description of key information

The surface tension of a batch of naphthenic acids is measured in an experimental study (Dussart, 2012) assigned as key study and considered reliable without restrictions (K1) using the ASTM D 1331 method  and has a value of 38.1 mN/m. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
31.8
