Results and Discussion

Results: According to Sponsor Information (Safety Data Sheet) the melting point of the test item is approximately 55 °C. The measurements were done applying temperatures between 140 °C and 200 °C (above the melting point).

 

The detailed results are shown in the following table:

Weight loss of the test item in the temperature range of 160°C to 190 °C

Estimation of log vT at 20°C= -4.9993280

Estimation of log pT at 20°C= -0.8897350

Estimation of pT at 20°C= 0.12890360 = 1.29E-01 Pa

 

Estimation of log vT at 60°C= -3.7125258

Estimation of log pT at 60°C= 0.5614911

Estimation of pT at 60°C= 3.64326799 = 3.64E+00 Pa

 

Extrapolation of the curve to 20 °C and to 60 °C and fitting this value in the regression curve, a vapour pressure of:

at 20 °C: 1.29 x 10-1 Pa

at 60 °C: 3.64 Pa

were obtained (temperature program 140 °C to 200 °C, evaluation at 160 °C to 190 °C).

The determination was performed above the melting point of the test item; these values however are expected to be overestimated, because it was determined from the molten material.

 

Conclusion:The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapour pressure of AEEU. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined above the melting point and was:at 20 °C: 1.29 × 10-1 Pa (mean of three determinations); at 60 °C: 3.64 Pa (mean of three determinations).

 

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was 1.29 × 10-1 Pa at 20 °C and 3.64 Pa at 60 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was measured with the Isothermal Thermogravimetry method according to OECD 104, EU A.4 and GLP. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined above the melting point and was 1.29 × 10-1 Pa at 20°C and 3.64 Pa at 60°C.
