Additional information

Using  SPARC online calculator v 4.5,  the following vapor pressure values of  1.9 10-5, 1.6 10-6, 1.4 10-7 and 2.4 10-7 were calculated  for 2-ethylhexyl esters with the Fatty acids  C14, C16, C18 and C18 unsatd., respectively. The branched chains were not taken into account because no precise information on these structures are available. So it can be considered that the estimated vapor pressure of isostearate 2 -ethylhexyl is between 1.9 10-5 and 2.4 10-7.

Only 2 substances , the Fatty acids C12-14, 2-ethylhexyl esters and the fatty acids C16, 2-Ethylhexyl esters were tested amongst the category members. Their vapor pressure was 5.9 10-3 and 1.36 10-4 respectively. These tested substances have a low molecular weight and they do not surround the target substance “Isostearate 2-ethylhexyl” (= Fatty acids, C14-18 and C18 unsatd., branched and linear, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 85186-76-1)).

The experimental values appear higher than the corresponding calculated vapor pressure. Hence for the component C16 Fatty acid 2-ethylhexyl, an experimental  vapor pressure of 1.4 10-4 Pa at 20°C is obtained, whereas the calculated value is 1.6 10-6 Pa at 20°C.

Since it is known that the vapor pressure decreases with the increase of the length of alkyl chain, it can be deduced that the calculated vapor pressure will be < 1.9 10-5,  calculated with SPARC for the component of the target substance with the shortest alkyl chain. And this calculated value is balanced by applying a factor of 10 since it was demonstrated that experimental results are higher than calculated values. So the vapor pressure of “Isostearate 2-ethylhexyl”  is considered to be < 0.0001 Pa at 20°C.
