The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at nine different temperatures (30 - 150 °C) according to OECD 104 resp. EU A.4 using the effusion method (weight loss). Experiment 1 - 6 (nominal temperature 30 - 105 °C) showed no reproducible weight loss. When visible contaminations, caused by explosive evaporation of the test item, were observed, the cells were meticulously cleaned and weighed. This weight was used as initial weight for the subsequent measurements. To avoid bias, these measurements were not used for calculations.
Three experiments could be evaluated as they showed relevant and reproducible weight loss. All evaluated experiments showed good repeatability, giving relative standard devia-tions of less than 23 % (limit value from the guideline 30 %) and good correlation.
Therefore, the result of the test can be considered valid.

The following vapour pressures at 20°C and at 25°C were calculated:


- Vapour pressure at 20°C : 6.18*10-05 Pa


- Vapour pressure at 25°C : 8.51*10-05 Pa


 

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to OECD 104 resp. EU A.4 using the effusion method (weight loss); with the following vapour pressures at 20°C and at 25°C calculated from the regression equation:


- Vapour pressure at 20°C : 6.18*10-05 Pa


- Vapour pressure at 25°C : 8.51*10-05 Pa

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C
