Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of phenol, mono- & distyrenated, was determined based on OECD TG 104 (dynamic method). The regression equation of the plot log p versus 1/T was used to calculate the vapour pressure at ambient temperatures.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.005 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

For comparison, the vapour pressure of 2-(1-phenylethyl)phenol, a component of phenol, mono- & distyrenated, was calculated using the modelling software US EPA EPI Suite 4.11, program component MPBPVP (v1.43). Vapour pressure was estimated for a liquid (physical state of phenol, mono- & distyrenated is liquid) by the Modified Grain method. The resulting value (0.0157 Pa, 20°C) is slightly higher than the measured value for phenol, mono & distyrenated (0.0049 Pa, 20°C). But both values are close together and stay clearly below a vapour pressure of 0.1 Pa.
