Two vapour pressure measurements were performed in the temperature range of 220 to 300 °C and 100 to 240 °C, respectively. The measured vapour pressure values together with the measured temperatures are listed in Table 1 and 2.

Since neither the measurement 1 of 07 April nor the measurement 2 of 13 April produced any feasible result, a DSC measurement was performed from room temperature to 400 °C to check the thermal stability of the test item. The results of DSC measurement confirmed that there was no thermally stable range suitable for vapour pressure determination of the test item.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure determination of the test item was not feasible, because there was no suitable thermally stable range for determination (tests of effusion method were confirmed by DSC measurement).
Executive summary:

A study was performed according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 in order to determine the vapour pressure of the test item by using the effusion method. The measurements by effusion method were performed twice since in the first test no thermally stable range could be found for vapour pressure determination. Since also in the second measurement the same problems appeared, the DSC method (differential scanning calorimeter) was used in order to check the thermally stability of the test item. The results of the DSC measurement confirmed the first results. The vapour pressure of the test item was not feasible because there was no suitable thermally stable range for determination.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure determination of the test item was not feasible, because there was no suitable thermally stable range for determination (tests of effusion method were confirmed by DSC measurement).

Additional information

A study was performed according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 in order to determine the vapour pressure of the test item by using the effusion method. The measurements by effusion method were performed twice since in the first test no thermally stable range could be found for vapour pressure determination. As in the second measurement the same problems appeared, the DSC method (differential scanning calorimeter) was used in order to check the thermally stability of the test item. The results of the DSC measurement confirmed the first results. The vapour pressure of the test item was not feasible because there was no suitable thermally stable range for determination (reference 4.6-1).
