The aqueous solution of the test item has a mean surface tension of 52.3 mN/m. According to regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A Method A.5 substances showing a surface tension lower than 60 mN/m under the conditions of method A.5 should be regarded as being surface active materials.
Thus, the test item is regarded as surface active material.



Conclusions:
In a study according to OECD guideline 115 and EU Method A.5 a surface tension of 52.3 mN/m at 20 °C was determined for the test item. Thus, the test item is regarded as surface active material.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item was determined in a study according to OECD guideline 115 and Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A Method A.5. In this study a surface tension of 52.3 mN/m at 20°C was determined for the test item. According to EU Method A.5 the test item is regarded as surface active material.

Description of key information
