The isotherms at 65°C is shown in the picture below along with the heat profile and slope at constant rate of weight loss (over 300 minutes). 

Conclusions:
Using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method, the vapour pressure of the substance at 25°C has been determined as 0.018 Pa.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure at 25°C: 0.018 Pa (EC A.4 and OECD 104: isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.018 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Deviation from the test guidelines: an Aluminium pan has been used instead of a roughened glassplate.
