Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The Vapor pressure of Lime Oxide has been determined to be 481 Pa at 25°C using the isonesticope method.

Description of key information

For the purpose of environmental exposure assessment, the vapour pressure of 481 Pa is assigned to both assessment entities. Although this value was obtained from an experimental study on the multi-constituent registration substance itself, QSAR predicted values for the individual components indicate that the two types, monoterpene ethers and unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbons, are expected to be of similar volatility.

Additional information

The Vapor pressure of Lime Oxide has been determined to be 368 Pa at 20° and 481 Pa at 25 °C using the isonesticope method.

Vapour pressure is a key physico-chemical property for modelling exposure estimates (work, consumer and environment). For the environment exposure assessment, two assessment entities have been defined because of significant differences in other physico-chemical/fate properties such as water solubility, Kow and Koa. The vapour pressure of the two types of components was estimated by QSAR using the Mpbpwin V1.43 module available in EPI suite. The results for the main consituents are provided in the table below. For two of the constituents, experimental data was also available in the EPI suite database.

The constituent information in the table above shows that both types of components, unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbons and monoterpene ethers, are expected to be of similar volatility. Thus it was considered appropriate to use measured value for the whole substance, for both assessment entities.
