Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Vapour pressure [furan]: 79800 Pa at 25°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 79 800 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
Three reliable measured vapour pressure data are available for furan. A vapour pressure of 79800 Pa at 25°C (Daubert and Danner 1989) was reported for the substance in a collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer review and in which the original sources are traceable. The result is considered reliable and selected as key study. Other reliable data gave vapour pressure values of 86000 Pa (Kobe 1956) and 80000 Pa (PFA 2012) at 25°C which was obatined using an acceptable scientific method which is similar to static method of OECD 104 and QSAR prediction respectively. In a secondary source to which no reliability could be assigned, vapour pressure of 65700 Pa at 20°C (Pennakem 2011) was reported for the substance.
The supporting results are in agreement with the key study that furan is a highly volatile substance.
