Any other information on results incl. tables

The results of the isothermal TGA analysis for the test item and the vapour pressure at 20°Cand 25°Care given inTable 2andTable 3.

The vapour pressure regression curve of the log PTof the test item as function of the reciprocal temperatures is shown inFigure 9. The equation of the curve was: log PT= -4630´1/T + 15.19 (r = 0.994, n = 6).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The isothermal TGA effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of Terephthaldehyde.
The vapour pressure of the test item at 20°C (293K) and 25°C (298K) was 0.25 Pa and 0.46 Pa respectively (1.9 x10^-3 and 3.4 x 10 ^-3 mmHg )
