Results

For each isothermal temperature, the evaporation rate was determined. Weight losses were detected at all temperature steps from 30 °C to 300 °C. However, it was not feasible to calculate one overall mean vapour pressure due to the non-linear graph of log(pT) vs. 1/T. A reason for this behaviour can be traced back to the sample itself which is a mixture of different compounds. Therefore, three different vapour pressures were calculated using individual data sets limited to 30 °C to 80 °C (data set 1), 140 °C to 180 °C (data set 2), and 230 °C to 260 °C (data set 3), respectively. The Table 1 below lists the resulting data observed from the linear regression as well as the calculated vapour pressures for each data set.

	data set 1 (30 °C – 80 °C)	data set 2 (140 °C – 180 °C)	data set 3 (230 °C – 260 °C)
slope	-2113.17	-1068.25	-559.19
intercept	8.22	4.75	3.27
R²	0.9986	0.9910	0.9473
pT (20 °C) [Pa]	10.2	12.8	23.2
pT (25 °C) [Pa]	13.5	14.8	24.9

Conclusions:

Due to the test item's nature of being a mixture of different components, a distinct vapour pressure could not be calculated. Referring to the determined evaporation rates at the lowest temperature range examined for calculation, the vapour pressure was found to be 10.2 Pa at 20 °C and 13.5 Pa at 25 °C.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to OECD 104. Thereby, a distinct vapour pressure could not be calculated due to the sample's nature of being a mixture of different components. Referring to the determined evaporation rates at the lowest temperature range examined for calculation, the vapour pressure was found to be 10.2 Pa at 20 °C and 13.5 Pa at 25 °C.
