Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
vapour pressure testing is not required because the standard boiling point is < 30 ºC, as this substance will have a vapour pressure value above the limit of measurement (i.e. 10E+05 Pa)
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
data waiving: supporting information

Description of key information

The study is not proposed by the registrant as the experimental determination of the vapour pressure for a gas is neither feasible nor scientifically relevant.


For risk assessment purpose the atmospheric pressure (101325 Pa) is reported as key value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
101 325 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Vapour pressure is not a relevant property for gases as by definition the vapour pressure of a substance is the saturation pressure above a solid or a liquid substance at constant temperature. The experimental determination of the vapour pressure for a gas is neither feasible nor scientifically relevant.


For risk assessment purpose the atmospheric pressure (101325 Pa) is reported as key value. In fact this corresponds to the vapour pressure value of a liquid substance at its boiling point, it therefore represents the vapour pressure of the liquid perfluoromethyl vinyl ether during the phase transition to gas, which occurs at -26°C.


Information regarding the vapour pressure of perfluoromethyl vinyl ether was also sourced from two secondary sources as the Company SDS and a public technical data sheet which reports that the substance at 20°C has a vapour pressure of 505 and 484 KPa respectively. The data were probably derived by calculation. Considering the low relevancy of the information at 20°C (therefore above the boiling point of the substance) and considering that the data are non-peer-reviewed and of Klimisch-4 reliability, they have not been included in this assessment.
