Key result
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
0.037 Pa

The evaluation of the vapour pressure was done with the reproducible weight loss values above > 1 μg/min in the temperature range between 120°C to 150°C.

The plot of log VT of the test material as function of the reciprocal temperatures was determined. The coefficient of correlation (R²) was 0.9979.

The regression line of log PT as a function of log VT used for calibration was determined. The coefficient of correlation (R²) was 0.9825. The resulting equation was:

 

log PT = 4.3781 + 1.0022 ∙ log VT

 

Inserting the equation for log VT above, the following equation for the temperature dependence of the vapour pressure of the test material is obtained:

 

log PT = C + D ∙ (a · (1 000 / T) + b) = C + (D ∙ b) + (D ∙ a ∙1 000 ) / T

 

Where:

a = -2.7351;

b = 3.5353;

C = 4.3781; and

D = 1.0022

With this equation, a following vapour pressure results were obtained: 3.68 x 10^-2 Pa at 20 °C.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study the vapour pressure of the test material was 0.0368 Pa at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was assessed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 104 and EU Method A.4 under GLP conditions using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method.

Due to the test material properties no representative suspension could be prepared; the test material was added directly to the glass plate and was fixed with the spatula. The plate with the test material was placed in the TGA instrument. The weight loss of the test material was measured continuously as a function of time at different temperatures at constant nitrogen flow. Three replicates were conducted with the independent samples. All observations and the measurements obtained were documented in the raw data for each experiment.

The evaluation of the vapour pressure was done with the reproducible weight loss values above > 1 μg/min in the temperature range between 120°C to 150°C.

Under the conditions of the study the vapour pressure of the test material was 0.0368 Pa at 20°C.
