The evaporation rate of the test substance (VT) was calculated from the weight loss of the test substance at defined temperatures in a constant stream of nitrogen over periods of time. Linear regression analysis of log VT versus 1/T (1000/T) was performed for the test substance and for each reference substance. The evaporation rates at 20 °C (VT, 20) were determined from these relationships. The relationship between the values of VT, 20 of the reference substances and their known vapor pressures was established as a regression equation. The relationship between evaporation rate and vapor pressure, derived for 20 °C, includes the characteristics of the experimental setup, which are subsequently employed in the calculation of vapor pressure values at other temperatures.

Equation for the regression line of log PT as a function of log VT used for calibration:

log PT = 4.8560+1.1723 x log VT

The coefficient of correlation (R2) was 0.9977.

Equation for the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure of the test substance:

log PT=C+D x (a / T+b)=C+(D x b)+(D x a) / T

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the vapor pressure of the test substance was calculated (mean of three determinations) to be 2.23-E06 Pa at 20 °C.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure according to OECD 104 resp. EU A.4 Method, in compliance with GLP. The vapor pressure of the test substance at 20 °C (PT, 20) was evaluated using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. According to the guideline this method was validated in the range 10+E10 to 1 Pa using a set of reference substances with known vapor pressures. Based on the results from the pre-test the main test with three replicates was done between 130 °C and 180 °C. The test substance was added to the glass plate. The plate was placed in the TGA instrument. The weight loss of the test item was measured continuously as a function of time at different temperatures at constant nitrogen flow. Measurement program was: start at minimum temperature of 130 °C following with temperature increase: 10 °C with a ramp of 10 °C/min, Isothermal interval of 5 min and end temperature: 180 °C. A value of the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined using weight loss data obtained between 140 °C and 170 °C. Under the study conditions, the vapor pressure of the test substance was calculated (mean of three determinations) to be 2.23-E06 Pa at 20 °C (Wagner Rivas, 2017).
