Recovery data for the extraction and trapping efficiency of the cold-trap tubing (which also indicated the stability of the test material under operating conditions) showed that no correction factor had to be applied to the data in either case.

A mean vapour pressure (three replicates) of 8.98 x 10^-04 mmHg was obtained for the test material.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was determined using the gas saturation method and was assessed according to OECD 104 and in compliance with GLP.

A nitrogen stream saturated with the test material flowed through cold trapping apparatus. The test material trapped was analysed using HPLC and the vapour pressure calculated according to the ideal gas equation.

The data from the first runs on each sample (runs 1 and 5) were not reported since it was considered that the sample was degassing during the tests.  Runs 3 and 4 were not reported since the orifice of the apparatus became blocked during testing.
