Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1 April 2010 to 7 January 2011
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP study carried out in compliance with an internationally recognised guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
effusion method: by loss of weight or by trapping vaporisate
Temp.:
25 °C
Vapour pressure:
20.6 Pa
Temp.:
25 °C
Vapour pressure:
18.2 Pa
Temp.:
25 °C
Vapour pressure:
19.8 Pa

The mean vapour pressure is 20 Pa at 25°C and the coefficient of variation is 6.1%.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the substance was found to be 20 Pa at 25°C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined by an effusion weight loss method to be 20 Pa at 25°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
20 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

A vapour pressure determination was performed by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., (2011, Report No.: ESD-2010 -020). The vapour pressure was determined according to OECD Method 104 and EU Method A4 and was considered to be reliable. DMI was found to have a vapour pressure 20 Pa at 25°C. This vapour is low for a liquid, for example, when compared to the vapour pressure of water which is 3169.0 Pa at 25°C (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 73rd Edition, 6 -14).
