Results and discussion

Surface tension
Surface tension:
35.2 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

In order to describe the time dependence of the surface tension after transferring the solution to the measurement vessel, repeated measurements were carried out with increasing the equilibrium time. A constant surface tension was reached after about 74 sec.

The measured surface tension was multiplied by φa and then corrected according to Harkins and Jordan by 1.85 mN/m, resulting in a corrected surface tension of 35.2 mN/m. As the surface tension value was lower than 60 mN/m, Pellicer is classified as surface active.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The measured value was found to be 35.2 mN/m. As the surface tension value was lower than 60 mN/m, Pellicer is classified as surface active.
Executive summary:

The determination of the surface tension was carried out on the test item as supplied by the sponsor, with the use of a Krüss K6 Tensiometer by ring method. The measured value was found to be 35.2 mN/m. As the surface tension value was lower than 60 mN/m, Pellicer is considered to be surface active.
