Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: other: Du Noüy ring method
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
ring method
Key result
Surface tension:
32.26 mN/m
Temp.:
25 °C
Conc.:
51 mg/L
Remarks on result:
other: at CMC (i.e., 0.17 mM or 51 mg/L)
Surface tension at CMC was established as 32.26 mN/m. CMC determined at 0.17 mM = 51 mg/L.
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance at the critical micelle concentration was 32.26 mN/m at 25ºC.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tension of the test substance using the Du Noüy ring method. Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance at the critical micelle concentration was 32.26 mN/m at 25ºC (Oskarsson, 2006).

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 35.8 mN/m at 20°C and for a concentration of 0.98 g/L.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the surface tention of the test substance according to EU Method A.5. Under the study conditions, the surface tension of the test substance was determined to be 35.8 mN/m at 20°C and 0.98 g/L (White, 2004).
