Key result
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
15 Pa

The test substance has a vapour pressure of <= 1.5E-04 atm (<=1.5E01 Pa; <=1.5E-01 mbar) at 20°c and of 1.3E-03 atm (<=1.3E02 Pa; <=1.3 mbar) at 50°C. The experimentally determined vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C was not in the recommended range of 1 to 1000 mbar for DSC-measurements. Therefore, an estimation procedure in accordance with the test method OECD Guideline 104 was used. This method is applied for vapour pressures between 103 and 10-7mbar.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the substance was determined to be 15 Pa at 20°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the substance according to OECD Guideline 104. The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined by the dynamic method (differential scanning calorimetry). The experimentally determined vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C was not suitable to measure the vp of test substances containing more than 1% moisture. Therefore an estimation procedure (Grain-Watson method) was used which gives reliable data for poorly volatile substances with up to 10% moisture. This method is applied for vapour pressures between 103 to 10-7mbar. The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C and 50°C were determined using equations. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the substance was estimated to be 15 Pa at 20°C (Kintrup, 2015 and Dobbelstein, 2017).
