Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
5 October 2006 - 12 January 2007
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve)
Version / remarks:
October 2002
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
Version / remarks:
December 1992
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
effusion method: isothermal thermogravimetry
Key result
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
< 0 Pa
Conclusions:
The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapour pressure. The vapour pressure at 20°C (293K) was < 8.40·10-7 Pa = < 6.30·10-9 mm Hg.
Executive summary:

Representative weight loss curves of the test substance and the reference substance chrysene were plotted. The weight loss of the test substance at 170°C was lower than the weight loss of chrysene at the same temperature. From this, it was concluded that the vapour pressure of the test substance is < 8.40·10 -7 Pa = < 6.30·10 -9 mm Hg.
