Vapour Pressure Balance (Effusion Method)
The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 24 °C to 73 °C. Above 24 °C a vapour pressure could be measured. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table:

Description of key information
Vapour pressure range at 20 °C:
lower range value: 0.00089 Pa at 20 °C (source C18-DMA);
upper range value: 0.02 Pa at 20 °C (source C16-DMA).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 0.02 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The vapour pressure for C16-18-DMA was determined by read-across from the nearest neighbours C16-DMA (0.02 Pa at 20 °C) and C18-DMA (0.00089 Pa at 20 °C).
The highest value from the resulting range was taken as the key value.
