Results
Vapour pressure was measured in the overall temperature range of 50 to 120 °C. The 1st measurement was done in the range of 70 to 120 °C, but due to the unusual course of the measurement it was repeated. The 2nd measurement was done in the range of 50 to 120 °C. At the beginning of this measurement the test item was kept for 6 h at 50 °C under vacuum so as to reduce the content of possibly present volatile components of test item.

** 2nd measurement

Both measurements showed a comparable vapour pressure course. Both showed decreasing vapour pressures above 90 °C, the mass loss after the measurement was ca. 7%. The test item could have partially lost phosphate or it could be that the increasing vapour pressures up to 90°C were mainly due to impurities (even though at the beginning of the 2nd measurement the test item was kept under vacuum). The mass loss was in the same order of magnitude as the impurities of the test item (i.e. 5%). For a conservative approach, the observed vapour pressures up to 90 °C were used for the evaluation.
