Referenceopen allclose all
Calculation method: non-linear regression of the experimental points using a matrices of permutation of Fremann-Carrol.
The boiling temperature was verified according to the method of Siwoloboff, while the vapour pressure at 20°C was extrapolated by means of the equation of Antoine.
Parameters of Antoine: A = 9.1717 B = 3561.159 C = 303.932 [mmHg] (parameters deduced by the regression)
Description of key information
The vapour pressure at 20ºC is 2 Pa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 2 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Various Klimisch 4 results were available. There was no serious disagreement between the results reported. The value selected for the key value for the chemical safety assessment (i.e. 2 Pa @ 20ºC) represents the worse case scenario at ambient temperature.
