A plot of Log10(vapour pressure (Pa)) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T(K)) for Run 2 gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least squares treatment.

Slope                                      -3134.990
Standard deviation in slope     71.073

Intercept                                       10.446
Standard deviation in intercept  0.251

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship:

Log10(Vp (Pa)) = -3134.990/temp(K) + 10.446

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item has been determined to be 8.5 x 10-1 Pa at 25ºC.
Executive summary:

Introduction

Hazardous physico-chemical properties of the test item have been determined.

Methods employed are designed to be compatible with those specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties and the current OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals.

Method

The vapour pressure was determined using a vapour pressure balance with measurements being made at several temperatures and linear regression analysis used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25°C. Testing was conducted using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A4 Vapour Pressure of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 104 specified in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 23 March 2006.

Conclusion

The vapour pressure of the test item has been determined to be 8.5 x 10-1 Pa at 25ºC.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined to be 0.85 Pa; study conducted in accordance with OECD 104 and EU Method A.4; Atwal and Tremain (2011)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.85 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

In a GLP compliant vapour pressure study conducted in accordance with standardised guidelines, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined using the effusion method: vapour pressure balance. Under the conditions of the test, the vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be 0.85 Pa which is considered to be a very low volatile based on EASE.
