Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Vapour pressure:
0.28 Pa
Remarks on result:
other: modified Grain method
Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of D-lactide is 0.28 Pa at 25 °C, obtained by QSAR calculation.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of D-lactide was estimated by QSAR calculation (MPBPWin v1.43, EpiSuite). Experimental values for melting point and boiling point were taken into account. The resulting vapour pressure of D-lactide is 0.28 Pa at 25 °C.

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of L-lactide was estimated by QSAR calculation (MPBPWin v1.43, EpiSuite). Experimental values for melting point and boiling point were taken into account. The resulting vapour pressure of L-lactide is 0.311 Pa at 25 °C.

Description of key information

By read-across from the enantiomers D-lactide and L-lactide, the vapour pressure of dilactide is estimated to be 0.311 Pa in a worst-case approach.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.311 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Reliable QSAR calculations for the vapour pressure of D-lactide and L-lactide are available. The slightly differ since the calculations take into account measured melting points as correction factor. Slightly deviating melting points results from unavoidable measurement inaccuracies. From the two vapour pressure estimates (0.311 Pa for L-lactide, 0.28 for D-lactide) the higher one is adopted for dilactide in a worst-case approach.
