From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve the constants A and B of the Antoine equation can be derived by regression of the data points to be:

A = 10.2276

B = -4027.25

C = 273.15.

The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by interpolation and extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50°C.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated to be 3.1E-4 Pa at 20, 5.3E-4 Pa at 25 and 5.8E-3 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 and OPPTS 830.7950 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item using the effusion method: vapour pressure balance. The thermal stability of the test item was determined with the DSC method. Starting at a temperature of 160 °C an exothermic effect with an energy release of -50 J/g can be observed. An endothermic effect observed starting at a temperature of 250 °C. Thus, the vapour pressure of the test item was determined at temperatures between 37 and 68 °C. Using the Antoine equation, the constants A and B were determined and the vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C was interpolated and extrapolated from the experimental vapour pressure. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 3.1E-4 Pa at 20, 5.3E-4 Pa at 25 and 5.8E-3 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
