Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The weight loss of the test substance at 110, 120, 130 and 140 °C was lower than the weight loss of hexachlorobenzene at the same temperatures. From this it was concluded that the vapour pressure of the test substance is < 1.47x10³.

Conclusions:
The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapour pressure of Potassium pentahydrogen bis(phosphate). The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C was <1.47¯³ Pa.
This study is conducted according to an appropriate guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint.

Description of key information

One key study exists. This study (Brekelmans MJC, 2010) was conclusive, done to a valid guideline (EU Method A.4) and the study was conducted under GLP conditions. It is therefore scientifically justified for use as a key study under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information
