The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 20 °C to 56 °C. Above 33 °C a vapour pressure could be measured. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table:

The course of the vapour pressure as a function of the inverse temperature shows an untypical profile in the temperature range 33 - 37 °C (data points 1 - 5). Above 38 °C the vapour pressure showed its typical curve. Due to this the regression according to the Antoine equation was only performed for the vapour pressure (data points 6-12). This gives a conservative estimation of the vapour pressure of the test item also at 20, 25 and 50 °C. The regression data are:

log (p/hPa) = A + B/(C+T[°C])

A = 17.26088

B = -6169.89

C = 273.15

The calculated vapour pressure values are depicted in the following table:

Conclusions:
The estimated vapour pressure of the test item at 25 °C is 0.037 Pa (reference 4.6-1).
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of test item has been determined in an experimental study according to OECD Guideline n. 104 (2006) and the EEC Directive 92/69. A vapour pressure balance (effusion method) was used to measure the vapour pressure of the test item in the temperature range of 20 °C to 56 °C. Above 33 °C a vapour pressure could be measured. The calculated vapour pressure values are extrapolated with the Antoine constants from the regression of the data above 37 °C for temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C. The estimated values at 20, 25 and 50 °C are 1.6 x 10-2, 3.7 x 10-2 and 1.5 Pa, respectively.

Description of key information
