Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance is determined to be 28.9 ± 0.14 mN/m at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance using plate method according to OECD Guideline 115. The test substance was diluted to a content of 1 g/L (repeated determination), and clarified via pressure filtration with PORAFIL 0.2 μm. The resulting solutions are visual clear, but they are colloidal solutions (tested using a laser). Solutions were measured twice by KRÜSS K 100 MK2 with detection speed of 6 mm/min and detection sensitivity: 0.01 g. Immersion depth was of 2 mm. Double distilled water and 1 -octanol have been measured as calibration and control sample. Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance is determined to be 28.9 ± 0.14 mN/m at 20 °C (Mund, 2017).
