Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 18 °C to 121 °C. Above 42 °C a vapour pressure was measured. The test item melted during the test. Values between 64 °C and 81 °C show deviations which are presumably caused by the melting process and were therefore excluded from the evaluation.

A figure shows the vapour pressure (logarithmic scale) as a function of the inverse temperature (1/T, T in Kelvin). For better readability the temperature is reported in a centigrade scale. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C as shown.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance has a vapour pressure of 8.0 x 10E-5 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was measured in a guideline study (EU A.4; OECD TG 104) with a vapour pressure balance (effusion method). The test substance has a vapour pressure of 8.0 x 10E-5 Pa at 25 °C.
