The log VT of the test substance was represented as function of the reciproval temperatures. The coefficient of correlation (r) was > 0.99. Extrapolation of the curve to 10°C resulted in a value of -3.78 for the logVT,20 of the test substance. Fitting this value in the regression curve, a vapor pressure of 2.98 Pa = 2.24 x 10 -2 mmHg was obtained.

Conclusions:
The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapour pressure of 2-sec-butylphenol. The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C (293K) was 2.98 Pa = 2.24 x 10-2 mm Hg.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of 2 -sec-butylphenol was determined by the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. The method followed OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve) and EU Method A. 4 (Vapour Pressure). The log VT of the test substance was represented as function of the reciproval temperatures. The coefficient of correlation (r) was > 0.99. Extrapolation of the curve to 10°C resulted in a value of -3.78 for the logVT,20 of the test substance.

The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C (293K) was 2.98 Pa = 2.24 x 10-2 mm Hg.
