Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 vapour pressure was measured with the dynamic method in the temperature range of 58°C to 180°C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table:

The values for 20, 25 and 50°C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C as shown. It is likely that the system had not reached its equilibrium at 57.7°C. Therefore this value is not included in the calculation. Due to the prolonged exposure to thermal stress the value at 101.8°C shows a great deviation. Therefore this value is not included in the calculation.

The Antoine constants from the regression of the data from the dynamic method were used to calculate the vapour pressure for 20, 25 and 50°C:

Conclusions:
The vapor pressure was determined to be 0.26 hPa at 20°C, 0.42 hPa at 25 °C and 3.5 hPa at 50 °C, using the dynamic method.
Executive summary:

The measurement of the vapor pressure was performed in 2009 using an apparatus manufactured from commercially available equipment. The appearance of the test sample remained unchanged, no discoloration or decomposition was observed. The vapor pressure was determined to be 0.26 hPa at 20°C, 0.42 hPa at 25 °C and 3.5 hPa at 50 °C, using the dynamic method.

Description of key information

Vapor pressure was determined to be 0.26 Pa at 20 °C, applying the dynamic method.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
