The mass of sample used in the respective cell, the data of the evaluated experiments and calculation results were reported in the report.

Note that Experiment 1 (nominal temperature 30 °C) showed no reproducible weight loss. Therefore these values were not used for calculations.

After the third measurement of 105 °C the determination was finished as enough values were given and the cells were nearly empty.

A summary of the mean of all measured values for temperature and vapour pressure is reported below :

A graph with log P vs. 1/T was plotted. Since the values were correlated by a linear relation, the data could be fitted by linear regression:

slope = -4264.5

intercept = 11.1750

Correlation Coefficient r = -0.9934

Coefficient of Determination r2 = 0.9868

The linear regression of log P vs. 1/T gave a correlation coefficient r of -0.9934, showing good repeatability and precision. In addition, the vapour pressure measured for the positive control at 30°C met the validity criteria. Therefore, the determination is considered as valid.

Finally, the following vapour pressures at 20°C and at 25°C were calculated for the test item, from the regression equation (extrapolation):

Vapour pressure at 20°C: 0.000424 Pa

Vapour pressure at 25°C: 0.000744 Pa

Conclusions:
Low volatility.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was measured under GLP according to OECD 104 / EU A4 guideline, effusion method (Knudsen cell). Determinations were conducted at 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 105 °C. Experiment 1 (nominal temperature 30 °C) showed no reproducible weight loss. These measurements were not used for calculations.

The other temperatures could be evaluated as they showed reproducible weight loss. For these temperatures, 1/T was plotted against log (P): the graph shows a straight line with a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.9934.

Vapour pressure at 20 and 25 °C was extrapolated from the regression.

The vapour pressure of the test item has been determined to be 0.000424 Pa at 20°C and 0.000744 Pa at 25 °C.

Description of key information
