Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The transpiration method (also called gas saturation) involves passing a steady stream of an inert gas over or through the sample, which is held at constant temperature.

Type of method:
gas saturation method
Temp.:
21 °C
Vapour pressure:
2.84 Pa

An equation is given to calculate the vapor pressure as a function of temperature:

lnP = 337.7/R-97276.2/RT-94.8*ln(T/298.15)/R with R= 8.314472 SI unit and T in in Kelvin. In this equation, P is in Pascals.
