Conclusions:
The determined value of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of methenamine at 20.0 °C was 70,4 mN/m (c = 1.0 g/L, after 40 minutes). Therefore the test substance is classified to be not a surfactant.
Executive summary:

The determined value of the surface tension of an aqueous solution of methenamine at 20.0 °C was 70,4 mN/m (c = 1.0 g/L, after 40 minutes). Therefore the test substance is classified to be not a surfactant.

Description of key information

The determined value of the surface tension of an aqueous solution ofmethenamineat 20.0 °C was 70.4mN/m (c = 1.0 g/L, after 40 minutes). Therefore no surfactant properties are to be expected and consequently the test substance does not meet the criteria for classification as a surfactant.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Surface tension:
70.4
in mN/m at 20°C and concentration in mg/L:
1 000
