Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The vapour pressure of the most volatile main constituent, alpha pinene (690 Pa at 20°C), was retained as worst case for the chemical safety assessment of the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
690 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

In a weight of evidence approach, literature data and experimental values were gathered for the main constituents of the substance.

In this way the following vapour pressures were determined for the main constituents of the substance:

- terpinolene : VP = 101 Pa at 20°C

- alpha pinene : VP = 690 Pa at 20°C

- dipentene (read-across with d-limonene) : VP = 200 Pa at 25°C

- camphene : VP = 380 Pa at 20°C

- gamma terpinene : VP = 103 Pa at 23.5°C

Therefore, based on the main constituents, the vapour pressure of the UVCB substance was estimated to be in the range 101 - 690 Pa at 20°C.

The upper limit of this range (corresponding to the most volatile main constituent) was considered as the worst-case, relevant key value for the chemical safety assessement.

Thus, the vapour pressure of alpha pinene (690 Pa at 20°C) was retained for the chemical safety assessment.
