Results

 

Thermal Stability

The test item in a closed glass crucible showed an exothermic effect in the temperature range of 150 - 200 °C, with a decomposition energy of -20 J/g.

 

Effusion method: Knudsen cell

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 41 to 71 °C. The measured vapour pressure values together with the measured temperatures are listed in the following table.

The measured vapour pressures at 65.8 and 70.9 °C are slightly outside the measuring range (10-3to 1 Pa) of the Knudsen cell. Nevertheless, as the vapour pressure value above 1 Pa could be detected properly by the Knudsen cell, this value can be used for the evaluation.

 

From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve, the constants A, B and C of the Antoine equation were calculated:

Log10 p = A +  B / ( C + θ )

 

A = 12.4278

B = -4104.03

C = 273.15

 

 

Final Results

The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by interpolation and extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C, according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.4. Vapour Pressure and OECD Test Guideline 104 (2006).
