Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 result
Test no.:
#1
Temp.:
ca. 20 °C
Vapour pressure:
< 0 Pa
Test no.:
#2
Temp.:
ca. 25 °C
Vapour pressure:
< 0 Pa

Representative weight loss curves of the test substance and chrysene (one given reference substance) are shown in the anlytical report. The results of the vapour pressure for the test substance at 20 °C and 25 °C are given in the table below.

Temperature  20 °C 25 °C
Vapour pressure [Pa] [mmHg] [Pa] [mmHg]
<8.4E-7 <6.3E-9 <5.8E-7 <4.3E-9

The weight loss of the test substance at 180 °C, 190 °C and 200 °C was lower than the weight loss of chrysene at the same temperatures. According to this, the vapour pressure of the test substance was specified. The weight loss of the test substance at 170 °C was most likley affected by evaporation of impurities of the test substance.

Description of key information

20 °C, VP < 8.4E-7 Pa (= 6.3E-9 mmHg)

25 °C, VP < 5.8E-7 Pa (= 4.3E-9 mmHg)

(OECD 104, effusion method; isothermal thermogravimetry)
