Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- surface tension
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Experiment start and end date - 23 April 2003; Study completion date - 03 June 2003
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
- Deviations:
- no

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Identity: FAT 40810/A
Batch: WP 6/02
Purity: approx. 75 %
Appearance: Solid, dark brownish powder
Expiration date: 12 December 2010
Storage: At room temperature at about 20 °C - Surface tension:
- 71.4 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20.2 °C
- Conc.:
- 1 000 mg/L
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, the surface tension of FAT 40810/A in water (at a concentration of about 0.1 %) was determined to be 71.4 mN/m at 20.2 °C ± 0.2 °C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC Guideline, FAT 40'810/A is not a surface active substance.
- Executive summary:
The determination of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of FAT 40812/A was based on the OECD Guideline No. 115: "Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions" (1995) and on the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.5 "Surface tension", EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. The calibration factor was determined to be 1.016 for double distilled water. In conclusion, the surface tension of FAT 40810/A in water (at a concentration of about 0.1 %) was determined to be 71.4 mN/m at 20.2 °C ± 0.2 °C. Based on the criteria as outlined in the EEC Guideline, FAT 40810/A is not a surface active substance.
