Conclusions:
The Henry's Law Constant of the test substance is calculated to be 7.80E-08 Pa m3/mol. Comparing the results of the test substance with known chemicals (see table in "Any other information on results incl. tables" section) leads to a classification of the test item in the upper section of the low volatile range.
Executive summary:

The Henry's Law Constant for the substance was calculated to be 7.80E-08 Pa m3/mol from the experimentally determined physico-chemical parameters (vapour pressure, water solubility). Based on this result, the test item is considered to have low volatility compared with other chemicals.
