Conclusions:
The OECD harmonized ring method was applied for the determination of the surface tension of 3,3’-DDS.
The surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test substance saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was 73.6 mN/m. As this value is well above the cut-off value for surface active materials (< 60 mN/m), the test substance is considered not to be surface active.

Additional information

Performed according to the OECD harmonized ring method, the surface tension of a test solution at 90% of the test substance saturation solubility in water and at 20°C was evaluated to be 73.6 mN/m. As this value is well above the cut-off value for surface active materials (< 60 mN/m), the test substance is considered not to be surface active.
