no
Type of method:
dynamic method
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
15 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: calculated based on the lowest possible boiling temperature
Vapour pressure:
120 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: calculated based on the lowest possible boiling temperature
Conclusions:
The test item dihexyl ether has a vapout presure of 15 Pa at 20°C and 120 Pa at 50°C (the calcualtion is based on the lowest possibleboiling temperature) according to the definitions inthe oECD Guideline 104 (Grain-Watson estimation).
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of dihexyl ether was determined in accordance with the test method OECD Guideline 104. The experimentally determined vapour pressure of dihexyl ether at 20°C is not in the recommended range of 1 to 1000 mbar for DCS-measurements. therefore as estimation procedure in accordance was used (Grain Watson Method). This method is applied for vapour pressures between 10(exp3) to 10(exp-7) mbar. According to the study dihexyl ether has a vapour pressure of 5 Pa at 20 °C and 120 Pa at 50 °C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of a dihexyl ether is 15 Pa at 20 °C and 120 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The vapour pressure of dihexyl ether was determined according to the Dynamic Method. Based on the experimental values the vapour pressure for 20 and 50 °C was calculated to be 15 and 120 Pa, respectively.
