Vapour pressure
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- The target substance is unstable in water and the atmosphere and testing would record the result of the key degradation products which are relatively volatile, including 2-propanol, ethylene glycol and triisopropanol.
- Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of method:
- effusion method: vapour pressure balance
- Key result
- Test no.:
- #1
- Temp.:
- ca. 25 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- ca. 0 Pa
- Key result
- Test no.:
- #2
- Temp.:
- ca. 59 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- ca. 0.003 Pa
- Conclusions:
- The quoted values were calculated from measurements made in the range 27-99 °C, following some initial degassing.
Some sputtering and condensation was noted at the higher temperature, although the sample appeared to remain unchanged - Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: not specified.
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- not specified.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- other: not specified.
- Key result
- Temp.:
- ca. 25 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- ca. 60.2 hPa
- Conclusions:
- The vapour pressure of 2-propanol is 60.2 hPa at 25°C according to literature.

Description of key information
Examination of similar substances indicates that the vapour pressure for purposes of exposure assessment will be that of degradation products resulting from its instability in the atmosphere.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 60.2 hPa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
Of the key degradation products likely to be volatile, propan-2 -ol has a reported vapour pressure of 60.2 Pa
