- Key result
- Surface tension:
- 41.85 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20.1 °C
- Conc.:
- 90 vol%
- Remarks on result:
- other: standard deviation: 0.03 mN/m
- Conclusions:
- According to Regulation EC 440/2008 Method A.5 and OECD 115 the surface tension of a 90 % saturated aqueous solution mixture of the test item was determined to be 41.85 mN/m with a standard deviation of 0.03 mN/m at a mean temperature of 20.1 °C. Due to the fact that the surface tension is < 60 mN/m, the test item has surface-active properties.
Reference
Determination of the Density
The density of the 90 % saturated aqueous solution of the test item in double-distilled water was determined in a preliminary measurement to be 1.002 g/cm3 (20.1 °C).
Temperature
The temperature of the test mixture during the measurements was 20.1 °C. The room-temperature during the measurement was 20.3 to 20.6 °C.
Validation
The surface tension of the reference item hexane was determined on 2011-03-15 with 18.28 ± 0.01 mN/m (20 °C) for the Ring (Nr. 1, RI 21. This value is in the range of tolerance of ± 1 mN/m acc. to the literature value of 18.42 mN/m at 20 °C.
Description of key information

Additional information
According to Regulation EC 440/2008 Method A.5 and OECD 115 the surface tension of a 90 % saturated aqueous solution mixture of the test item was determined to be 41.85 mN/m with a standard deviation of 0.03 mN/m at a mean temperature of 20.1 °C. Due to the fact that the surface tension is < 60 mN/m, the test item has surface-active properties.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
