Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Software tool(s) used including version: EPI Suite v4.11
- Model(s) used: Mpbpwin Model version 1.43
The model estimates vapour pressure by three different methods:
- the Antoine equation (Lyman WJ, Reehl WF and Rosenblatt DH. 1990. Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods. Washington, DC: American Chemical Society);
- the Modified Grain Method (Lyman WJ. 1985. In: Environmental Exposure From Chemicals. Volume I. Neely WB and Blau GE (eds). Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, Inc., Chapter 2);
- the Mackay Method (Lyman WJ. 1985. In: Environmental Exposure From Chemicals. Volume I. Neely WB and Blau GE (eds). Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, Inc.).
MPBPWIN selects a “suggested” vapour pressure: the modified Grain for solids and the average of the Antoine and the modified Grain for liquids and gases.
A dataset of 3037 compounds with experimentally determined vapour pressure values has been used to evaluate the model (using the “suggested” values as outcome), giving a correlation coefficient of 0.914. The evaluation clearly shows that the model reliability decrease for vapour pressure below 0.0001 Pa.
The dataset contains 1642 compounds with available experimental Boiling points and Melting points. The correlation coefficient evaluated on this subset (0.949) indicates that VP estimates are more accurate when experimental BP and MP are available.

Conclusion

The isothermal TGA effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of the test item.

The vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C (293K) and 25 °C (298K) was:

≤ 1.3E-3

≤ 9.7E-6

 

 

The weight losses of the test item were obtained with a temperature program of above the melting temperature of the test item. According to this, the vapour pressure of the test item (which was, according to the method, extrapolated to 20 °C and 25 °C) could be slightly overestimated.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure: ≤6.8E-4 at 20 °C, ≤1.3E-3 at 25 °C (OECD Guideline 104, effusion method: isothermal thermogravimetry)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A vapour pressure of 9.98E-8 Pa was estimated with the Mpbpwin QSAR model, using the modified grain method. This result is used to support the low vapour pressure of the tested substance.
