The vapour pressure of the test substance was measured at 70°C and 80°C. The vapour pressure at 25°C was extrapolated (by linear regression) from the measured values. The chromatography of the test substance resulted in several main peaks. This was caused by the test substance, which is a mixture of different isomeric compounds and impurities. Therefore, LCMS analysis was used for quantification and two components with a mass of 342 and 314 were used as representative peaks. Their concentrations were extrapolated from the calibration curve.

Conclusions:
Using the Modified Grain method, of MPBPWIN v1.44 program of EPI SuiteTM, the weighted average VP value for test substance was predicted to be <1.34E-4 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure (VP) of the test substance, IsoC18 MIPA, was predicted using the Modified Grain method of the MPBPWIN v1.44 program (EPI SuiteTMv4.11). The test substance is mono constituent, the VP values were predicted using SMILES codes as the input parameter. Using the Modified Grain method, the VP value of the test substance was 2.34E-07 at 25°C (original estimate) (US EPA, 2019). Since the constituent does not meet the boiling point (BP) and VP molecular descriptor domain criteria as defined in the MPBPVP user guide of EPI Suite TM, the VP prediction was considered to be less accurate. However, for the VP parameter the chances of introducing errors when the predicted VP values were below the cut-off set by the tool, was reduced by substituting the individual VP values as less than the cut-off value (i.e., <1.34E-4 Pa). Therefore, the VP value was calculated as <1.34E-4 Pa, indicating the test substance to have a low volatility potential (ECHA, 2017) and low fugacity (ECHA, 2009), leading to low inhalation exposure to users and environmental exposure through air or via volatilization from water. Overall, the VP predictions for the test substance using MPBPVP model of EPI Suite TM can be considered to be reliable with low to moderate confidence.

Conclusions:
Using the Consensus method, of T.E.S.T. v4.2.1 program, the weighted average VP value for test substance was predicted to be 2.19E-06 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure (VP) of the test substance, IsoC18 MIPA, was calculated using the Consensus method of T.E.S.T. v4.2.1 program. Since the test substance is a Mono-constituent, the VP was predicted using SMILES codes as the input parameter. Using the Consensus method, the predicted VP value of the constituent was 2.19E-06 Pa at 25 °C, indicating a low vapour pressure (US EPA, 2019). As the constituents was not within the MW or the structural fragment domain criteria as defined in the T.E.S.T. user guide of EPA, the VP prediction was considered to be less accurate. Therefore, considering the VP predictions for the constituent, the test substance is expected to have a low volatility potential (ECHA, 2017) and low fugacity (ECHA, 2009), leading to low inhalation exposure to users and environmental exposure through air or via volatilization from water. Further, based on the mean absolute error (MAE) criteria, the prediction accuracy was considered to be moderate. Therefore, the VP predictions for the test substance using T.E.S.T. model overall can be considered to be of reliable with low to moderate confidence.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure was determined according to OECD Guideline 104 and EU Method A.4 (gas saturation method) (Tognucci, 1999). Weighted average vapour pressure values for the test substance were also modelled using the Modified Grain method of the MPBPWIN v1.44 program of EPI Suite and the Consensus method of the T.E.S.T. v4.2.1 program.
