A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the read-across substance ‘glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., deodorizer distillates' according to the OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4. Approximately 22.6 or 27.1 mg of the read across substance was applied to the surface of a roughened glass plate as a homogeneous layer. The plate was dried under nitrogen in the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The weight loss of the read across substance was measured continuously as a function of time. Benzo(ghi)perylene, chrysene, hexachlorobenzene, naphthalene and water were used as reference substances for validation. The log Vt, 20 value which was obtained by extrapolation of the evaporation rate curve, fitted in the vapour pressure regression curve. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the substance was found to be 0.00113 Pa at 20°C (Brekelmans, 2010c).

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the read across substance according to OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4. 17.5 and 17.9 mg of the read across substance was applied on glass plates respectively, and placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer. The weight loss of the read across substance was measured continuously as a function of time from 70°C to 150°C. Benzo(ghi)perylene, chrysene, hexachlorobenzene, naphthalene and water were used as reference substances for validation. The log Vt, 20 value which was obtained by extrapolation of the evaporation rate curve, fitted in the vapour pressure regression curve. From this, it was concluded that the vapour pressure of the read across substance at 20°C is 3.28 × 10-2 Pa = 2.46 × 10-4 mm Hg. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the read across substance was determined to be 0.0328 Pa at 20°C (Brekelmans, 2010a). Based on the results of the read across study, the vapour pressure of the test substance, Soaps, stocks, vegetable oil, acidulated is considered to be 0.0328 Pa at 20°C.

- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the read-across substance 'soybean oil, deodorizer distillates' according to OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4. Approximately 18.1 or 24.4 mg of the read across substance was applied to the surface of a roughened glass plate as a homogeneous layer. The plates were dried under nitrogen in the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The weight loss of the read across substance was measured continuously as a function of time. Benzo(ghi)perylene, chrysene, hexachlorobenzene, naphthalene and water were used as reference substances for validation. The log Vt, 20 value which was obtained by extrapolation of the evaporation rate curve, fitted in the vapour pressure regression curve. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the substance was determined to be 0.00312 Pa at 20°C (Brekelmans, 2010b).

The logarithm of the evaporation rate of the reference control substance at 20°C deviated < 10% from the average value obtained during the validation test. This show the acceptability of the data of the reference substances for the determination of the vapour pressure of the test substance.
The equation of reference regression curve was found to be log P20= 1.04 X log V20+ 4.32 (r =0.993, n=10).
Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C resulted in a value of -5.60 for the log νT, 20 of the test substance and the value was fitting in the regression curve.
