Conclusions:
A vapour pressure value of approximately 79500 Pa at 20°C was determined for the substance using a temperature-vapour pressure correlation. The result is considered to be reliable.

Additional information

Two reliable measured vapour pressure data are available for the submission substance in handbooks or collections of reliable data. A vapour pressure value of approximately 79500 Pa at 20°C was determined for the substance using a temperature-vapour pressure correlation method, the study was determined using a temperature range of -64°C to 20.5°C. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

The key study is supported by a vapour pressure value of approximately 89000 Pa at 25°C which was reported for the substance. The key study is selected because the source gives more information about the methods used; both results are consistent with the substance being highly volatile.
