The test was performed from 58 to 94 °C. The vapour pressure of the test material was 1.162×10^-4 Pa at 20 °C and 1.933×10^-4 Pa at 25 °C, extrapolated from the Ln VP vs 1/T graph.

The IR spectra for the tested, control and untested material revealed no differences, therefore the test material was considered stable for the duration of the test.

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, the vapour pressure of the test material was determined to be 1.162×10^-4 Pa at 20 °C and 1.933×10^-4 Pa at 25 °C.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was investigated in a study which was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 104.

The experimental procedure followed the Knudsen cell effusion method. A small quantity of the test substance (nominally 7-9 mg) was placed in each of two weighed aluminium crucibles and a lid, with an orifice of a nominal 1 mm diameter (accurately measured), cold-welded on. The crucibles were weighed to an accuracy of 1 µg and placed in the apparatus, which was then evacuated to ultra-high vacuum. At set time intervals, the apparatus was brought to atmospheric pressure, the crucibles reweighed and the loss in mass of test substance from each calculated. The vapour pressure ¿ (Pa) was calculated using the Hertz-Knudsen relationship. Tests were conducted between 58 and 94 °C to ensure that test substance remained in the liquid phase throughout the test period. The vapour pressures at 20 °C and 25 °C were then extrapolated from the vapour pressure-temperature plots.

Under the conditions of the study, the vapour pressure of the test material was determined to be 1.162×10^-4 Pa at 20 °C and 1.933×10^-4 Pa at 25 °C.

The vapour pressure of the test material was investigated in a study which was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 104. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
