Observations

60°C: At the first measurement of experiment 3, all cells were slightly contaminated. Therefore, the cells were meticulously cleaned and weighed. This weight was used as initial weight for the subsequent measurements. To avoid bias, this measurement was not used for calculations.

75°C: At the third measurement of experiment 4, all cells were slightly contaminated. Therefore, the cells were meticulously cleaned and weighed. This weight was used as initial weight for the subsequent measurements. To avoid bias, this measurement was not used for calculations.

Calculation results

The calculation results of experiment 2-4 (nominal temperature 45, 60 and 75°C) are given in the tables below and on the following pages. The calculation results of experiment 1 and 5 are no reproducible results, therefore the results are not showed.

Criteria for the vapour pressure of the positive control at 30°C

1.44 * 10-1 ± 0.1 Pa

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressures for the temperatures 20 and 25 °C:
- 3.23E-3 Pa at 20 °C
- 4.72E-3 Pa at 25 °C
Executive summary:

A study was performed according to OECD TG 104 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 761/2009, method A.4 in order to determine the vapour pressure of the test item by effusion method (Knudsen cell).

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at five different temperatures (30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 °C). Experiment 1 and 5 (nominal temperature 30 and 90 °C) showed no reproducible weight loss and were excluded from the further calculation. Finally, three experiments (45, 60 and 75 °C) could be evaluated and were used for extrapolation of the vapour pressures at 20 °C and 25 °C by linear regression curve. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 3.23 * 10-3 Pa at 20 °C and 4.72 * 10-3 Pa at 25 °C.

Description of key information
