Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

As a precaution a Differential Scanning Calorimetry was performed. The measurement in a closed glass pan shows an endothermic effect (melting) in the range 110-155 °C, with an onset of 136.6 °C. There was no exothermal effect until 425 °C.

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 15 to 94 °C. No signal was observed in the range 15 °C up to 38 °C, that means the vapour pressure in this range was below 10-5 hPa. Above this temperature a vapour pressure could be measured.

So the calculation of the vapour pressure curve was restricted on the values between 1.3 x10-4 and 3.0 x10-2 hPa, i.e. between 42.5 °C and 94.2 °C.

The following table shows the measured pressure data at the corresponding temperatures.

Temperature [°C]  Vapour pressure [hPa]
 42.5  1.3 x 10 -4
 47.2  1.6 x 10 -4
 54.2  7.3 x 10 -4
 57.9  1.2 x 10 -3
 62.9  2.5 x 10 -3
 68.4  4.0 x 10 -4

 72.1

  5.1 x 10 -3
 78.4  8.5 x 10 -3
 82.9  1.1 x 10 -2
 89.2  1.8 x 10 -2
 94.2  3.0 x 10 -2

The figure (attached as background material) gives the logarithm of vapour pressure as a function of the inverse temperature (1/T, T in Kelvin).

Only for better readability the temperature is reported in centigrade scale.

The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C as shown there.

 T [°C]  p [hPa]  p [Pa]
 20  7.80 x 10 -6  7.80 x 10 -4
 25  1.57 x 10 -5  1.57 x 10 -3
 505  3.81 x 10 -4  3.81 x 10 -2
Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item is calculated by extrapolation:
20 °C: 0.0000078 hPa
25 °C: 0.0000157 hPa
50 °C: 0.000381 hPa
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the sample was tested according to EG-Guideline 92/69/EEC A.4. in a GLP study with the effusion method.

The vapour pressure of the test item is calculated by extrapolation:

20 °C: 0.0000078 hPa

25 °C: 0.0000157 hPa

50 °C: 0.000381 hPa
