The vapour pressure for hexachlorobenzene calculated with interpolation from the values given in the OECD TG 104 is equal to 4.75E-3 Pa for 25.2 °C.

The experimental results of our test measurements are within the estimated reproducibility, given by the same guideline. The experimental equipment is suitable for the determination of vapour pressure.

Remark: the volume of nitrogen is given in litres at normal conditions (0 °C and 1 atmosphere)

In conclusion, the vapour pressure of the test substance at 25 °C is lower than 4E-6 Pa.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance at 25 °C is lower than 4.0E-6 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined by the gas saturation method in accordance with OECD TG 104 and following GLP principles. The vapour pressure of the test substance at 25 °C is lower than 4.0E-6 Pa.
