Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The slope of the log p versus 1/T curve for the test item in the range of 100°C - 130°C could not be determined since the coefficient of correlation (r) was < 0.99.

Since no accurate vapour pressure could be calculated from the obtained results, the weight losses of the test item were compared with the results of hexachlorobenzene at the same temperatures (i.e. 1.47 x 10E-3 and 3.97 x 10E-3 at 20°C and 25°C, respectively). Since the weight loss of the test item was lower than the weight loss of hexachlorobenzene, the vapour pressure of the test item is considered to be below the vapour pressure of hexachlorobenzene.

Representative weight loss curves for the test item and hexachlorobenzene are shown in the attacheddocument "S-930 – Vapour pressure.pdf".

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was <1.5 x 10E-3 Pa at the temperature of 20°C and <4.0 x 10E-3 Pa at the temperature of 25°C.

Description of key information

<1.5 × 10E-3 Pa at 20°C and <4.0 × 10E-3 Pa at 25°C (EU A.4, OECD 104)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
