The vapour pressure of the test substance (PT) was determined by the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. The method is validated in the range 10E-8 - 10E3 Pa using a set of five reference substances with known vapour pressures (see paragraph 8.5). The validity of the method was verified maximum one month before this study using hexachlorobenzene (>99%, Fluka Chemie, Buchs, Switzerland) as reference control substance. The logarithm of the evaporation rate at 20°C (log vT, 20) deviated

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of silver behenate was determined by the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method and is <0.00000084 Pa. The vapour pressure of 0.000065 Pa is used for the chemical safet assessment of behenate.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
