Conclusions:
According to OECD Test Guideline 115 and Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A Method A.5 the surface tension at 20 °C of test item copper naphthenate was determined to be: σ = 63.2 mN/m. Thus, the test item is not to be regarded as surface active material.

Description of key information

According to OECD Test Guideline 115 and Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A Method A.5 the surface tension at 20 °C of test item copper naphthenate was determined to be:

σ = 63.2 mN/m.

The test item is not to be regarded as surface active material.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test item (101.48 mg) was dissolved in 100 mL double distilled water and stirred overnight for 24 hours to create an oversaturated solution. Subsequently 90 mL of the aqueous phase were diluted to 100 mL with double distilled water to create a solution with a concentration of about 90 % of the solubility. The concentration in mg/L of the solution was not determined.
