- Type of method:
- effusion method: vapour pressure balance
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Description: pale yellow crystalline solid
- Batch number: 7X18A
- Storage conditions: approximately 4 °C in the dark over silica gel - Key result
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- 0 Pa
- Key result
- Transition / decomposition:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: max. temperature tested was 140°C; far below the decomposition temp. of 210°C
- Conclusions:
- The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be 2.8 x 10 Exp.-6 Pa at 25°C.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according EU testing method A.4. The vapour pressure balance effusion method was chosen. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined above the melting range and was: at 25 °C: 2.8 × 10 Exp.-6 Pa (mean of six determinations).
- Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- March - May 2008
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Pyromellitic dianhydride is not stable under certain conditions (e.g. in water). Therefore, a read-across is done to the corresponding decomposition product Pyromellitic acid for several endpoints. The present supporting test with PMA serves as bridging study.

Description of key information
Pyromellitic dianhydride is not stable under certain conditions (e.g. in water). Therefore, a read-across is done to the corresponding decomposition product Pyromellitic acid for several endpoints. The present supporting test with PMA serves as bridging study.
Vapor pressure Pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)
The study was performed according EU testing method A.4. The vapour pressure balance effusion method was chosen. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined above the melting range and was: at 25 °C: 2.8 × 10 Exp.-6 Pa (mean of six determinations). In a supporting study similar or equivalent to OECD no. 104, the vapor pressure was found to be 30 mm Hg at 305°C.
Boiling point Pyromellitic acid (PMA / read-across)
The study was performed according EU testing method A.4. The vapour pressure balance effusion method was chosen. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined above the melting range and was: at 25 °C: 6.3 × 10 Exp.-7 Pa (mean of six determinations).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
