Any other information on results incl. tables

From the start of the study untill ca. 150 minutes a weight loss was observed due to evaporation of impurities in the substance.

The log PT versus 1/T (T in K) curve for the substance over the range 170 -200°C showed poor linearity (correlation coefficient r < 0.99). Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C or 25°C would not give reliable results.

Since the weight losses of the test item at 170°C, 180°C, 190°C and 200°C were lower than the weight losses of chrysene at the same temperatures, it was concluded that the vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C (25°C) is lower than the vapour pressure of chrysene at 20°C (25°C).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the substance at 25°C was determined to be < 2.0E-06 Pa.
The vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C was determined to be < 8.4E-07 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method in a GLP study according to EC A.4, OECD 104 and OPPTS 830.7950. The vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C (25°C) could not be determined by aid of a log pT vs 1/T curve. From the measured weight losses, the vapour pressure of the substance was concluded to be lower than the vapour pressure of reference substance Chrysene at 20°C (25°C). The vapour pressure of the substance at 25°C was determined to be < 2.0E-06 Pa. The vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C was determined to be < 8.4E-07 Pa.
