The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 20 °C to 100 °C (no measurements between 55 °C and 95 °C to exclude an influence from the melting point). Above 100 °C no further measurements were possible as the test item had completely evaporated at 100 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in Table 1. After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 100 % (w/w) was determined.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 2.2E-3 Pa at 20 °C, 4.2E-3 Pa at 25 °C and 7.6E-2 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item using the effusion method: vapour pressure balance. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 20 °C to 100 °C (no measurements between 55 °C and 95 °C to exclude an influence from the melting point). Above 100 °C no further measurements were possible as the test item had completely evaporated at 100 °C. Using the Antoine equation, the constants A, B and C were determined and the vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C was extrapolated from the experimental vapour pressure. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 2.2E-3 Pa at 20 °C, 4.2E-3 Pa at 25 °C and 7.6E-2 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.

Additional information

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item using the effusion method: vapour pressure balance (reference 4.6 -1).The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 20 °C to 100 °C (no measurements between 55 °C and 95 °C to exclude an influence from the melting point). Above 100 °C no further measurements were possible as the test item had completely evaporated at 100 °C. Using the Antoine equation, the constants A, B and C were determined and the vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C was extrapolated from the experimental vapour pressure.
