Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The estimated vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C is 7.136e-2 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method A.4. Vapour pressure and OECD Test Guideline 104 (2006). The method is based on the estimation of the mass of test item flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell in the form of vapour, through a micro-orifice under ultra-vacuum conditions. The mass of effused vapour was obtained by determining the loss of mass of the cell. The vapour pressure was calculated by applying the Hertz-Knudsen relation. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at different temperatures. The vapour pressures at 20 and 25 °C were calculated from the linear regression equation to be 7.136e-2 and 1.078e-1 Pa, respectively.
