Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
It is not possible to correctly and reliably measure the vapour pressure of a UVCB – if a study were run to measure the vapour pressure of the UVCB, the study would result in the determination of the vapour pressure of most volatile substance(s) of the said mixture.

Consequently the vapour pressure has been estimated by calculation instead using EPIsuite (Modified Grain Method). Using Raoults Law (P (Total Pressure) = ΣI xI VPI) and the calculated vapour pressures of all known components, the vapour pressure of the epoxidised fatty acids was determined to be 0.0676 mPa at 25 ºC.
Executive summary:

It is not possible to correctly and reliably measure the vapour pressure of a UVCB – if a study were run to measure the vapour pressure of the UVCB, the study would result in the determination of the vapour pressure of most volatile substance(s) of the said mixture.

Consequently the vapour pressure has been estimated by calculation instead using EPIsuite (Modified Grain Method). Using Raoults Law (P (Total Pressure) = ΣI XI VPI) and the calculated vapour pressures of all known components, the vapour pressure of the epoxidised fatty acids was determined to be 0.0676 mPa at 25 ºC.
