Mean surface tension = 53.5 mN/m

Mean multiplied by Φb and Harkins-Jordan corrected value = 52.8 mN/m

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 52.8 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered to be surface active.
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The investigation was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 115 Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions (July 27, 1995) and EC Guideline A.5 Surface Tension (March 04, 2016).The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of test item surface tension.

 

RESULTS

The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test item saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 52.8 mN/m. According to this, the test item is considered to be surface active.
