By adjusting the temperature setting of the tensiometer, differences in the density of the liquid can be compensated automatically.

 

 

Arithmetic mean of two test solutions:              28.0 mN/m (± 0.1 mN/m)

 

Arithmetic mean corrected by calibration

factor determined via water calibration:            28.2 mN/m

 

The sample was dissolved in water and tempered at 20 °C. Then the automatic measurement was initiated. The measurement was completed after 250 seconds.

 

For the determination concentrations of 1 g/l were dissolved after conditioning for 10 min in an ultrasonic bath and stirring for 1 h with a magnetic stirrer.

 

The test item has a surface tension of

 

28.2 mN/m

 

(concentration = 1 g/l) in accordance with the test method A.5. "Surface Tension" as described in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 laying down test methods pursuant Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), also similar to OECD guideline for testing of chemicals OECD 115.

Conclusions:
Surface tension: 28.2 mN/m
Executive summary:

In the non-GLP Klimisch 1 study from Kintrup (2012) the surface tension of Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, mono (C16-18 and C18-unsatd. alkyl) esters, ammonium sodium salt was determined according to test method EEC A.5 with the ring method at 20 °C and a concentration of 1 g/L to be 28.2 mN/m.

The result is considered acceptable for the risk assessment.
