Formulas used:

Evaporation rate: (νT) =Dm/ F x t [g/cm /h]

where:

Dm = weight loss of the test substance [g]

F = surface of the sample plate [cm2]

t = elapsed time for the weight loss [h]

Vapour pressure equation log PT=c lognT+d

where:

c = constant specific for the experimental arrangement

d = constant specific for the experimental arrangement

Vapour pressure regression curve log PT=a 1/T+b

where:

T = temperature [K]

a = slope [K]

b = intercept

Results:

The isothermal TGA effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of the test substance is:

The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C (293K) and 25°C (298K) was:   20°C 25°C [Pa] [mmHg] [Pa] [mmHg] Test substance < 1.5 x10^-3 < 1.1 x10^-5 < 5.8 x10-^3 < 4.3 x10^-5

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of test substance was found to be <1.5E-03 Pa at 20°C and <5.8E-03 Pa at 25°C (isothermal thermo gravimetric effusion method).

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 104, EU Method A.4 and EPA OPPTS 830.7950 (isothermal thermo gravimetric effusion method), in compliance with GLP. Approximately 14.5 or 15.2 mg of the test substance was applied to the surface of a roughened glass plate as a homogeneous layer. The plates were dried at 30°C under nitrogen in the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The weight loss of the test 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 test substance was found to be <1.5E-03 Pa at 20°C and <5.8E-03 Pa at 25°C (Brekelmans, 2012).
