Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information
The vapour pressure of Octadecan-1-ol, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS 68439 -46 -3) was determined experimentally using boiling point measurements at different pressures and estimated by calculation based on the Grain-Watson Method (according to OECD 104) or the modified Grain method (EPIsuite v4.10).
The experimental value was considered to be not reliable, as it fell outside the recommended range for DSC-based vapour pressure deduction (range: 1-1000 mbar). Alternatively, the Grain-Watson estimation procedure according the OECD Method 104 was applied, which takes into account melting point and boiling point data.
Additionally, the vapour pressures of possible individual constituents of the substance were calculated using EPIsuite v 4.10 (MPBPVP v 1.43). In order to derive a vapour pressure value for the whole substance, weighting based on normalized composition was applied to the individual data.
In view of the low vapour pressure values obtained from the calculations, calculated values from both estimation methods are used to derive the key value for chemical safety assessment purposes
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
