The linear regression analysis of the reference substances’ log VT,20(determined in this study) and log PT,20(from literature) using the least squares method yielded the following equation of the vapour pressure regression curve:

 

log PT,20= 1.07 x log VT,20+ 4.52 (r = 0.996, n = 10)

 

 

The results of the isothermal TGA analysis are reported in the following table.

The coefficient of correlation (r) related to the the plot of the logVTof the test substance as function of the reciprocal temperatures was > 0.99. Extrapolation of the curve to 20 °C resulted in a value of -6.48 for the logVT,20of the test substance. Fitting this value in the regression curve, a vapour pressure of 3.89 x 10-3Pa (2.92 x 10-5) mm Hg was obtained.

 

Conclusion

The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C (293K) was 3.89 x 10-3Pa according to OECD Guideline 104.

Description of key information

3.89E-03 Pa at 20 °C (OECD Guideline 104, vapour pressure curve)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.004 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The vapour pressure curve used to derive the key value (at 20 °C) was determined using experimental values determined by effusion method.

As supporting information, a QSAR calculation performed with SPARC software v 4.5 resulted in a vapour pressure of 1.72E-03 Pa, which is of the same order of magnitude of the experimentally determined value.
