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.

According to analytical information, free glycerol can be also present in the final composition of the substance (maximum 10%). Experimental value for vapour pressure is available for this substance (Daubert and Danner, 1989), suggesting a higher volatility compared to the esters components (0.0224 Pa).

 

Conclusion

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