The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 50 °C to 115 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed below:

The measured vapour pressures values at 50 °C and 60 °C were most likely caused by volatile impurities. The measurement at 70 °C showed an ambiguous behaviour and the resulting vapour pressure value was in the range of the lower detection limit of 10~5 hPa. Therefore the measured vapour pressure values between 50 °C and 70 °C were not taken into account for the evaluation of the vapour pressure. Only for better readability the temperature is also reported in a centigrade scale. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C. The following vapour pressure values for the test item were extrapolated from the experimental data:

 

20 °C: 5.1 x 10E-7Pa

25 °C: 1.1 x 10E-6Pa

50 °C: 2.9 x 10E-5Pa

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item at 25 °C was determined to be 5.1x10E-7 Pa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined in the temperature range 50-115 °C. The measured vapour pressures values at 50 °C and 60 °C were most likely caused by volatile impurities. The measurement at 70 °C showed an ambiguous behaviour and the resulting vapour pressure value was in the range of the lower detection limit of 10~5 hPa. Therefore the measured vapour pressure values between 50 °C and 70 °C were not taken into account for the evaluation of the vapour pressure. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 5.1 x 10E-7 Pa at 20 °C and 1.1 x 10E-6 Pa at 25 °C and 2.9 x 10E-5 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
