Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item aqueous solution (1 g/L) was found to be 43.8 mN/m at 20 °C using the ring method. The density of the test solution was determined to be 0.998 g/mL.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the Surface Tension of test item according to EU Method A.5 and OECD 115. In the course of this study aqueous solutions were prepared containing 1 g/L test item in water. Surface tension of these solutions was determined applying the ring method. The test was performed with the help of Krüss Easy Dyne type tensiometer. The surface tension of the test item aqueous solution (1 g/L) was found to be 43.8 mN/m at 20 °C using the ring method.
