according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve)

Version / remarks:

adopted on 27 July 1995

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)

Version / remarks:

Directive 92/69/EEC, Official Journal L 383 A 1992

Principles of method if other than guideline:

- Principle of test: The vapour pressure is determined by measuring the boiling temperature of the substance at various specified pressures between roughly 10 to approx. 103 hPa. The apparatus consists of a tube with a boiling section (by electrical heating) in the lower part, a cooler in the middle part, and an outlet to a pressure regulation system in the upper part. The thermometer is placed in the vapour above the surface of the liquid. The temperature of the vapour is measured as a function of the pressure.
- Short description of test conditions: Glass apparatus with sample container, electrical heating device, cooler connected to a pressure regulating system .
Initial pressure: 6.0 hPa
Final pressure: 1025.3 hPa
- Parameters analysed: boiling temperature at different defined vapor pressures, followed by calculation of the vapour pressure at 20 °C acc. Clausius Clapeyron equation.

GLP compliance:

yes

Conclusions:

The vapor pressure was calculated by mathematical extrapolation using the Clausius Clapeyron equation to be 0.08 hPa at 20 deg C.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate was determined by measuring the vapour pressure curve acc. OECD 104 between 86.6 and 211 °C . The vapour pressure at 20 °C was calculated using the Clausius Clapeyron equation and determined to be 0.08 hPa @ 20 °C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of HEMA is 0.08 hPa at 20°C (OECD guideline 104/EU test method A.4; dynamic method).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:

0.08 hPa

at the temperature of:

20 °C

Additional information

The test result is confirmed by the calculated vapour pressure of hydroxypropyl methacrylate with EPI Suite 4.1. The calculated mean vapour pressure acc. Antoine & Grain method is 0.046 hPa @ 25 °C based on a measured boiling point of 213 °C (Röhm 2007).
