Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be <0.00000084 Pa (i.e., equivalent to <6.3 x 10E-9 mm Hg) at 20°C and <0.0000029 Pa (i.e., equivalent to <2.2 x 10E-8 mm Hg) at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance, TMAC T (purity not specified) was determined isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method according to OECD Guideline 104, EU Method A.4 and US EPA OPPTS 830.7950. An amount of 7.58 or 8.13 mg of the test substance was applied to the surface of a roughened glass plate as a homogeneous layer. The weight loss of the test substance was measured continuously as a function of time. Using the weight losses obtained at 170°C, 180°C, 190°C and 200°C, the plot of the log PT of the test substance as function of the reciprocal temperatures was not linear (r < 0.99). This was most probably due to reaction and/or decomposition which was also indicated by the slightly bended weight loss curve at 200°C. The weight loss at 160°C was too low to be accurate and was therefore not used for determination of the vapour pressure. The weight loss of the test substance at 170°C, 180°C, 190°C and 200°C however, was lower than the weight loss of reference substance chrysene at the same temperatures. Accordingly, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be lower than that of chrysene. Under the study conditions, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be <0.00000084 Pa (i.e., equivalent to <6.3 x 10E-9 mm Hg) at 20°C and <0.0000029 Pa (i.e., equivalent to <2.2 x 10E-8 mm Hg) at 25°C (Brekelmans, 2012).
