Conclusions:
The isothermal TGA effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of 4,4'-(4-methylpentane-2,2-diyl)bis((heptyloxy)benzene).
The vapour pressure of the test item at 20°C (293K) was <1.5 x 10^-3 Pa / < 1.1 x 10^-5 mm Hg
The vapour pressure of the test item at 25°C (298K) was < 4.1 x 10^-3 Pa / < 3.1 x 10^-5 mm Hg
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item (PT) was determined by the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. The method is validated in the range 10^-8 - 10^3 Pa using a set of five reference substances with known vapour pressures. The validity of the method was verified maximum one month before this study using hexachlorobenzene as reference control substance. Since the logarithm of the evaporation rate at 20°C (log vT, 20) deviated < 10% from the average value obtained during the validation test, it was possible to apply the constants obtained with the validation test for the determination of the vapour pressure of the test item.

The vapour pressure of the test item at 20°C (293K) was <1.5 x 10^-3 Pa / < 1.1 x 10^-5 mm Hg

The vapour pressure of the test item at 25°C (298K) was < 4.1 x 10^-3 Pa / < 3.1 x 10^-5 mm Hg
