The plot of the log vT of the test substance as function of the reciprocal temperatures showed a coefficient of correlation (r) of > 0.99. Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C resulted in a value of -5.76 for the logVT, 20 of the test substance. Fitting this value in the regression curve, a vapour pressure of 0.0223 Pa = 1.67 x 10.4mm Hg was obtained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20ºC (293K) was 0.0223 Pa = 1.67x10^-4 mmHg.
Executive summary:

The test was perfomanced according to the OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4. The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapours pressure of the test substance. The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20ºC (293K) was 0.0223 Pa = 1.67x10^-4 mmHg.
