The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 29 to 121 °C. No signal was observed in the range 29 to 62 °C, this means the vapour pressure in this range was below the lower detection limit 10-6 hPa. Above this temperature a vapour pressure could be measured.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be <10(-6) hPa at 20 °C
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the vapour pressure of test substance according to OECD Guideline 104 and EU Method A.4. in compliance with GLP using effusion method.

The vapour pressure was measured for two different sample preparations:

1. For purifying of the test substance the water content was removed by treating the sample at 50 ± 5 °C under vacuum (app. 10-3 hPa) for 24 h (mass loss: 0.1 weight %),

2. For purifying of the test substance the water content was removed by treating the sample at 50 ± 5 °C under vacuum (app. 10-3 hPa) for 24 h (mass loss: 0.1 weight %) and the test substance was degassed over night at 70 °C under high vacuum at app. 10-6 hPa, for 12 h. 

For the determination of the final vapour pressure the second measurement with the two step purifying process was used.

Under the test conditions, vapour pressure of test substance was determined to be <1.0 x 10-6 hPa at 20 °C.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure of test substance was determined to be <0.000001 hPa at 20 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The vapour pressure of test substance was determined according to OECD guideline 104 and EU method A.4 using the effusion method.


The vapour pressure of test substance was determined to be <0.000001 hPa at 20 °C (Smeykal H, 2001).
