Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
29 April 2009 - 03 June 2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was performed according to guideline under GLP conditions.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
effusion method: vapour pressure balance
Temp.:
25 °C
Vapour pressure:
0 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: vapour pressure at 25 C was extrapolated from plot of log Pa vs. 1/K between 40 - 50 degrees C
Temp.:
50 °C
Vapour pressure:
0.002 hPa
Remarks on result:
other: The test material did not change in appearance under the conditions used in the test.

Vapour pressure was measured at temperatures between 40 - 50 C. A total of seven tests were performed. The average vapour pressure was .032 Pa (standard deviation = 0.0025). Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25 C. The test material did not show any change in appearance during the test.

Representative data are given in Table 1. The plot is attached as Figure 1.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test material is 0.032 Pa at 25 C. The test material did not show transitions in physical state during testing.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was determined using the vapour pressure balance method following EU Method A.4 guidelines.  Measurements were made between temperatures of 40 - 50 C. A plot of log P vs 1/K was prepared from the experimental measurements and was used to calculate the vapour pressure of the test material at 25 C. The vapour pressure of the test material at 25 degrees C is  0.032 Pa. The test material did not show transitions in physical state during testing.
