A plot of Log10(p) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with p in Pa and T in K) gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least square treatment.

Slope              -5139.4 

Intercept          17.884

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship: 

Log10(p (Pa)) = -5139.4 / T (K) + 17.884

 

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 2.25 Pa at 293.15 K and 4.43 Pa at 298.15 K.

A plot of Log10(p) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with p in Pa and T in K) gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least square treatment.

Slope              -5150.2

Intercept          17.887 

                    0.9984

 

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship:

Log10(p (Pa)) = -5150.2/ T (K) + 17.887

 

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 2.08 Pa at 293.15 K and 4.10 Pa at 298.15 K.

Conclusions:
Using the Knudsen Effusion method according to guideline OECD 104 and method EU A.4, vapour pressure of NOPOL is 2.17 Pa at 20°C and 4.27 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the vapour pressure of test item NOPOL. The method followed was designed to be compliant with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 104, "Vapour Pressure", adopted in March, 2006 and Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, EC A4, 23 July 2009.

In this dynamic method, the mass of the test substance flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell in the form of vapour, through a micro-orifice under ultra-vacuum conditions was determined at various specified temperatures (from 22 to 46°C). The Hertz-Knudsen equation was used to calculate the vapour pressure corresponding to the mass loss rate.

The Log10 (Vapour Pressure (Pa)) was plotted against 1/T (K) and a linear function was obtained. With this equation, the vapour pressure has been calculated for temperatures of 20°C and 25°C.

Two trials were conducted and five points were recorded for each trial.

Log (Vapour Pressure (Pa)) was plotted against reciprocal temperature and values of vapour pressure were calculated at 20°C and 25°C with the linear function parameters (slope and intercept).

Calculated values respect validity criteria (less than 20% of difference) and the linear functions obtained own a correlation coefficient R² over 0.95.

Moreover the calculated values showed good correspondence with the experimentally determined ones.

In conclusion, the vapour pressure of NOPOL is 2.17 Pa at 20°C and 4.27 Pa at 25°C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure was determined by the Knudsen effusion method (weight loss). 
The vapour pressure of nopol is 2.17 Pa at 20 °C and 4.27 Pa at 25 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
2.17 Pa

20 °C

Additional information

Key study conducted according to OECD 104 Guideline and EU Method A.4, under GLP without deviation. No observations arousing doubts concerning the accuracy of the results and the validity of the study were made. Therefore, the study was considered as reliable without restriction and the extrapolated vapour pressures at 20 and 25°C can be used as key values.
