Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 vapour pressure was measured with the dynamic method in the temperature range of 90 °C to 240 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table:

 Temperature [°C]  Vapour pressure [hPa]
89.8 4.2
105.7 10.3
120.0 20.3

128.9

30.2
141.8 50.5
150.5 70.0
158.5 100.5
172.3 150.6
181.3 200.3
193.7 300.5

239.7 901.0

The figure (attached as background material) gives the vapour pressure (logarithmic scale) as a function of the inverse temperature (1/T, T in Kelvin). Only for better readability the temperature was reported in a centigrade scale. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C, as shown.

T [°C]

p [hPa] p [Pa]
20 1.2 x 10-2 1.24
25 2.2 x 10-2 2.21
50 2.5 x 10-1 25.2
Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item is calculated by extrapolation:
20 °C: 0.012 hPa
25 °C: 0.022 hPa
50 °C: 0.25 hPa
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the sample was tested according to EU Method A.4 and OECD Guideline 104 in a GLP study with the dynamic method.

The vapour pressure of the test item is calculated by extrapolation:

20 °C: 0.012 hPa

25 °C: 0.022 hPa

50 °C: 0.25 hPa
