Conclusions:
The vapour pressure was calculated to be 40.52 hPa at 20 °C, 44.3 hPa at 25 °C and 64.67 hPa at 50 °C respectively.
Executive summary:

The determination of the vapour pressure of the test item (25 % minieral spirit as stabiliser) was performed (Phoenix Chemical Laboratory, Inc; 1992) according to the Regulation (EC) 440/2008 Part A, A.4 "vapour pressure" and the ASTM D2879-97 "Standard Test Method for Vapour Pressure-temperature Relationship and Initial decomposition Temperature of Liquids by Isoteniscope." (1997). Therefore the vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of -34.4 to 23.8 °C. From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve the constants A, B and C of the Antoine equation was derived by regression of the data points. The vapour pressure was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C to be 40.52 hPa, 44.3 hPa and 64.67 hPa respectively. No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The pressure is measured accurately with an electronic micro membrane manometer. The vacuum DSC experiments were carried out at various controlled pressure levels. Approximately 15 mg is weighed into a 70 micro litre aluminium cup with a pierced lid. After reaching a constant pressure, the DSC temperature scan is started. The heating rate is 5 °C/min. During this scan, the product will evaporate. A sudden increase in the endothermic heat flow is then obtained. This represents the initial boiling point of the mixture at the pre-set pressure. A condenser, cooled by CO2 ice extrudates, captures the gases. After at least 4 DSC scans at different pressures, a plot is constructed with 10log p (p: mbar) versus T(K), the Antoine plot of the product.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
A sample of about 15 mg is weighed into a high Aluminium pan, the pan is closed by a cover provided with a 1 mm pinhole. The pan is placed into the DSC cell, the cell is evacuated till the desired absolute pressure and heated up with a rate of 5 °C/min. The sample evaporates very fast above its boiling point, this will be recorded as a fast increase in the endothermal effect. A next test is carried out at an other pressure; in this way it is possible to establish the saturated vapour pressure as a function of temperature.

Additional information

Key study


The determination of the vapour pressure of the test item (50 % isododecane as stabiliser) was performed (AKZO Nobel; 2000) similar to the Regulation (EC) 440/2008 Part A, A.4 "vapour pressure". Therefore the vapour pressure was measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) in the temperature range of 36 to 67 °C. From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve the constants A, B and C of the Antoine equation was derived by regression of the data points. The vapour pressure was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C to be 1.71 Pa, 1.966 Pa and 3.72 Pa, respectively. No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.

The determination of the vapour pressure of the test item (50 % isododecane as stabiliser) was performed (AKZO Nobel; 1991) similar to the Regulation (EC) 440/2008 Part A, A.4 "vapour pressure". Therefore the vapour pressure was measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) in the temperature range of 20 to 180 °C. Vapour pressure of pure test item was calculated accoring to Dalton and Racult's lax, assuming ideal gas-liquid behaviour, using the experimental data of the test item and the literature data of isododecane. The calcualted vapour pressure is 360 Pa at 20 °C. The accuracy of this result is low because small deviations in the measured data give a big deviation in the calculated vapour pressure.
