Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
February 14 - February 21, 1989
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was performed according to guideline under GLP conditions. The restriction due to the fact that measurements were performed at the low range of the sensing head and the vapour pressure was determined by extrapolation.

Vapour pressure
Temp.:
25 °C
Vapour pressure:
0.03 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: Vapour pressure was determined by extrapolation from a curve of ln(p) vs. recipricol of the temperature

Any other information on results incl. tables

Because the vapour pressure of the test material was < 0.1 Pa, a correction according to Bennett and Tompkins (Trans Faraday Soc. 1957, 53, 185) for thermal transpiration was performed. The test substance showed no ideal behaviour, therefore, the vapour pressure curve could not be derived according to Clarke and Glew (Trans. Faraday Soc., 1966, 62, 539).

The vapour pressure at 25 oC was extrapolated from a plot of ln(p) vs. reciprocal of the temperature (K).

Data from the measurements are shown in Table 1:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test material determined according to EU Method A.4 is 3.0 x 3.0 x 10-2 Pa at 25 C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was determined according to EU Method A.4. A vapour pressure of 3.0 x 10-2 Pa at 25 oC was determined by extrapolation of data from a plot of ln(p) vs. the reciprocal of the temperature (K).
