Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The reported vapour pressure of the xylene isomers at 25˚C ranges from 0.882 to 1.167 kPa. The vapour pressure of m-xylene is 1.106 kPa, for o-xylene is 0.882 kPa and for p-xylene is 1.167 kPa. The mean value is 1.052 kPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 1.052 kPa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
Zwolinski and Wilhoit (1971) is a peer reviewed handbook and so can be considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Vapour pressures for the xylene isomers are not reported for 25˚C. However, the handbook does provide the Antoine constants to allow vapour pressures at other temperatures to be calculated. Although we have extrapolated outside the reported temperature range to derive this range we believe that the calculated values are an acceptable estimate of the vapour pressure at 25˚C as the state of the substance will not change in this temperature range. The data are supported by results from the CRC Handbook (Lide 2008), with vapour pressures for m-xylene, o-xylene and p-xylene of 1 kPa at 23.4˚C, 1 kPa at 27°C and 1 kPa at 22.4°C, respectively.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
