A first measurement showed an unusual behaviour which could have been caused by volatile impurities. Therefore the measurement was repeated with a degassing at 80 °C for 10 hours. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 90 °C to 125 °C. The derived vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table.

Measured vapour pressures and corresponding temperatures:

Temperature / °C

Vapour pressure / hPa

90

3.8 × 10-6

95

5.3 × 10-6

100

8.5 × 10-6

105

1.4 × 10-5

2.1 × 10-5

115

2.8 × 10-5

120

4.3 × 10-5

125

9.3 × 10-5

The data points measured from 90 °C to 100 °C were not included in the linear regression because they were under the detection limit of 1E-05 hPa.

The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C as shown in the table below:

Conclusions:
Vapour pressure (OECD 104 / EU-method A.4): 3.4E-08 Pa at 20°C (extrapolated)
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the submission substance was determined according to EU method A.4 and OECD guideline 104 (2006) compliant with GLP. The effusion method (Knudsen cell): vapour pressure balance was applied. Due to a detection limit of 1E-05 hPa of the method, experimental data above 100 °C, only could be used for the extrapolation of the vapour pressure at 20°C by regression analysis using Antoine parameters.

Results for vapour pressure:

3.4E-08 Pa at 20°C;

7.5E-08 Pa at 25°C;

2.6E-06 Pa at 50°C.

Additional information

The vapour pressure of the submission substance was determined according to EU method A.4 and OECD guideline 104 (2006) compliant with GLP. The effusion method: vapour pressure balance was applied. Due to a detection limit of 1E-05 hPa of the method, experimental data above 100 °C, only, could be used for the extrapolation of the vapour pressure at 20°C by regression analysis using Antoine parameters.

Results for vapour pressure:

3.4E-08 Pa at 20°C;

7.5E-08 Pa at 25°C;

2.6E-06 Pa at 50°C.

Within the supporting study, QSAR was applied for estimation of vapour pressure of the submission substance, with the following result:

Vapour pressure (QSAR: MPBPVPWIN v1.43; Sept 2010): 1.22E-08 Pa (Modified Grain Method) at 25°C.

This result is very similar to the experimentally derived value of 7.5E-08 Pa at 25°C and thus in support of the key study.
