Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The measured vapour pressure is slightly outside the measuring range (10-3 to 1 Pa) of the Knudsen cell. Nevertheless, as the vapour pressure value above 1 Pa could be detected properly by the Knudsen cell, this value can be used for the evaluation.

Final Results

The vapour pressure of the test item calculated by interpolation and extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C, according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.4. Vapour Pressure and OECD Test Guideline 104 (2006) is shown in Table 2.

Conclusions:
Vapour pressure values of 2.4 Pa (at 20 °C), 3.6 Pa (at 25 °C) and 20.8 Pa (at 50 °C) were determined for the test substance according to EU Method A.4.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure: 2.4 Pa at 20 °C (EU Method A.4, vapour pressure curve).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
