For the test substance the following vapour pressures at 20°C and at 25°C were calculated from the regression equation:

Results Test Substance

Vapour pressure at 20°C:

3.85 * 10-07Pa

Vapour pressure at 25°C:

8.52 * 10-07Pa

The linear regression of log p vs. 1/T gave a correlation coefficient r of - 0.9997, showing good repeatability and precision. Therefore, the determination is considered as valid.

 

Positive Control

Results Positive Control

Vapour pressure (positive control) at 30°C:

2.03*10-1Pa

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

1.44*10-1± 0.1Pa

The vapour pressure met the validity criteria. Therefore the study can be considered as valid.

 


 

 


 

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be at 3.87E-07 Pa and 8.52E10-07 Pa at 20°C and 25°C respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the substance, Quaternary ammonium compounds, N,N,N'-tris(hydroxyethyl)-N,N'-dimethyl-N'-tallow alkyltrimethylenedi-, bis(Me sulfates) (salts), according to the OECD Guideline 104 and EU Method A.4. The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined by the effusion method: Knudsen Cell. Vapour pressure for test substance was determined at eight different temperatures (30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 and 135 °C) according to effusion method (weight loss). Experiment 1-4 and 8 (nominal temperature 30 – 75 and 135 °C) showed only a poor reproducible weight loss. When visible contaminations, caused by explosive evaporation of the test substance, were observed, the cells were meticulously cleaned and weighed. This weight was used as initial weight for the subsequent measurements. To avoid bias, these measurements were not used for calculations. Three experiments could be evaluated as they showed relevant and reproducible weight loss. All evaluated experiments showed good reproducibility, giving relative standard deviations of less than 25 % (limit value from the guideline 30 %) and good correlation. Therefore, the result of the test can be considered valid. Under the study conditions, vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be at 3.87E-07 Pa and 8.52E10-07 Pa at 20°C and 25°C respectively (Krebs, 2018).
