Individual results

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 10 °C to 70 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in Table 1. The mass of the test item was determined before (2.8192 g) and after the vapour pressure measurement (2.8102 g). After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 0.3% (w/w) was determined.

10	2.5 x 10E-5

30	1.8 x 10E-5

n.e.: not evaluable

(*): below detection limit

The measured vapour pressures did not show the expected dependency between temperatures and vapour pressures. This indicated that the vapour pressure was influenced by minor components that evaporated when the temperature was raised. A last measurement at 50 °C during cooling down showed a lower vapour pressure value (6.0 x 10E-6 hPa) compared with the measurement at 50 °C during heating up (2.1 x 10E-5 hPa). This observation supports the assumption of minor volatile components within the test item.

Additionally, the measured data points at 20 °C and 50 °C (cooling down) were under the detection limit of the effusion method (10E-5 hPa) and the remaining data points were not significantly above the detection limit.

Due to the aforementioned reasons it was concluded that the dependency between temperature and vapour pressure cannot be described with a linear regression. As a conservative approach the vapour pressures for 20, 25, and 50 °C are reported to be below 1 x 10E-4 hPa based on the measured values.

T / °C	p / hPa	p / Pa
20	< 1 x 10E-4	< 1 x 10E-2
25	< 1 x 10E-4	< 1 x 10E-2
50	< 1 x 10E-4	< 1 x 10E-2

Conclusions:

The vapour pressure of the test item was investigated according to OECD 104 and EU A.4. However, the measured vapour pressures did not show the expected dependency between temperatures and vapour pressures and therefore cannot be described with a linear regression. As a conservative approach the vapour pressures for 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C are reported to be below 1 x 10-4 hPa based on the measured values.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was investigated according to OECD 104 and EU A.4. However, the measured vapour pressures did not show the expected dependency between temperatures and vapour pressures and therefore cannot be described with a linear regression. As a conservative approach the vapour pressures for 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C are reported to be below 1 x 10-4 hPa based on the measured values.

Additional information

The measured vapour pressures did not show the expected dependency between temperatures and vapour pressures and therefore cannot be described with a linear regression.
