The vapour pressure was measured twice. The first measurement was performed in the temperature range of 70 °C to 120 °C. However above 90 °C the vapour pressure was too high for further measurements. The second measurement was therefore performed in the temperature range of 30 °C to 70 °C.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure at 20, 25 and 50 °C was determined to be 0.0004, 0.00077 and 0.025 Pa respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 and OPPTS 830.7950 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at different temperatures (30 - 90 °C) using the effusion method (weight loss). The vapour pressure was calculated using the linear regression equation of the Log P versus 1/T function. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C were calculated using the Antoine equation. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 0.00036 Pa at 20 °C and 0.00077 Pa at 25 °C respectively.

Description of key information

Additional information

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 and OPPTS 830.7950 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item (reference 4.6 -1). The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at different temperatures (30 - 90 °C) using the effusion method (weight loss). The vapour pressure was calculated using the linear regression equation of the Log P versus 1/T function. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C were calculated using the Antoine equation. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 0.00036 Pa at 20 °C and 0.00077 Pa at 25 °C respectively.
