Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 isotherms at 65°C is shown in the picture below along with the heat profile and slope at constant rate of weight loss (over 300 minutes). 

Conclusions:
Using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method, the vapour pressure of the substance at 25°C has been determined as 0.018 Pa.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure at 25°C: 0.018 Pa (EC A.4 and OECD 104: isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.018 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Deviation from the test guidelines: an Aluminium pan has been used instead of a roughened glassplate.
