The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 10 °C to 40 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in Table 1. The mass of test item was determined before (1.2274 g) and after (0.0037 g) the vapour pressure measurement. A mass loss of approx. 100% (w/w) was observed.

From the measured data the parameters A, B and C of the Antoine equation can be derived by regression. The vapour pressure values for 20, 25, and 50 °C were interpolated (values at 20 °C and 25 °C) and extrapolated (value at 50 °C) using the Antoine constants.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to OECD guideline 104 by effusion method using a vapour pressure balance. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 10 °C to 40 °C. The vapour pressure values for 20, 25, and 50 °C were interpolated (values at 20 °C and 25 °C) and extrapolated (value at 50 °C) using the Antoine constants.
20 °C: 0.33 Pa;
25 °C: 0.56 Pa;
50 °C: 5.6 Pa.
