Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Explanation of the results

A vapour pressure of 5.52E-12 Pa has estimated by SPARC software for the target substance.

Discussion

SPARC physical property models have been designed and parameterized to be applicable to any organic chemical structure. The vapour pressure model validation, performed on a dataset of 747 molecules, proved that the model can be used to provide reliable estimations. It is however not possible to perform a clear evaluation of the model’s applicability domain.

Esters of fatty acids and alcohol with high molecular weight and long carbon chains are usually low volatile molecules, associated with low vapour pressure.

 

Conclusion

Considering the results obtained from QSAR evaluation, a vapour pressure < 0.0001 Pa can be considered as a reasonable estimation for the substance.
