Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the test substance using isoteniscope method, according to the EU Method A4, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be <100 Pa at 20°C (Chilworth, 2018).

Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction from an well known and acknowledged tool. See below under 'Overall remarks, attachments' for applicability domain.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Since the test substance is a UVCB constituting about 20-30% quaternised amino acids/peptides and 65-75% water, <10% mineral salts and <2% free amino acids, the vapour pressure values were estimated only for the quaternised amino acids/peptides constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value using the mole fractions of the individual major quaternised amino acids/ peptide constituents.

Input data for the model: Representative SMILES of the individual constituents:
1) Glutamic acid and C12 alkyl chain: CCCCCCCCCCCC[N](Cl)(C)(C)CC(O)CNC(CCC(O)=O)C(O)=O

Conclusions:
Using the Modified Grain method of the MPBPWIN v1.43 program (EPI Suite v4.11), the estimated vapoure pressure for the individual constituents ranged from 1.85E-28 to 3.90E-20 Pa, leading to a weighted average vapour pressure value of the test substance at 1.19E-20 Pa and indicating low volatility.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure (VP) value for the test substance were estimated using the Modified Grain method of the MPBPWIN v1.43 program , EPI Suite v4.11. Since the test substance is a UVCB constituting about 20-30% quaternised amino acids/peptides and 65-75% water, <10% mineral salts and <2% free amino acids, the vapour pressure values were estimated only for the quaternised amino acids/peptides constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value using the mole fractions of the individual major quaternised amino acids/ peptide constituents. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter for the vapour pressure estimation for the individual constituents. The estimated vapoure pressure for the individual constituents ranged from 1.85E-28 to 3.90E-20 Pa, leading to a weighted average vapour pressure value of the test substance at 1.19E-20 Pa (US EPA, 2018); indicating low volatility (ECHA R.7c, 2017). The estimates for the major constituents are considered to be reliable with restrictions, as they do not completely fall within of the applicability domain.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure of the test substance was determined using the isoteniscope method, according to OECD Guideline 104 (Chilworth, 2018) as well as using QSAR model of EPISuite v.11 (USEPA, 2018).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
15.6 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

- Experimental VP: <100 Pa at 20°C (Isoteniscope method); the measured VP value is considered to be not reliable, as the test method used for determination is not suitable for UVCB substances;

- Repeat experimental VP: 15.6 Pa at 20°C (static method); the measured VP value is suspected to be influenced by trapped gases and/or impurities. Also the results are not in line with the expected VP based on composition;

- Weighed average QSAR based VP: 1.19E-20 Pa at 25°C; the estimates for the major constituents are considered to be reliable with restrictions, as they do not completely fall within the applicability domain.

Overall, based on the above information, the test substance can be considered to have low volatility. However, in absence of a more reliable experimental study with the test substance, the higher value from the repeat experimental study can be considered further for hazard/risk assessment, as a conservative approach.
