Vapour Pressure (Dynamic Method):

The vapour pressure was measured with the dynamic method in the temperature range of 103 °C to 227 °C.The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the following table:

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance was 7.2 Pa at 20°C and 11 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties A.4. Vapour pressure: Vapour pressure (dynamic method) and OECD test guideline OECD 104 (Vapour pressure).

  104.4  1.25x10^-2  -1.90 

The plot of the log vT of the test substance as function of the reciprocal temperatures showed a coefficient of correlation (r) of > 0.99. Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C resulted in a value of -3.39 for the logVT, 20 of the test substance. Fitting this value in the regression curve, a vapour pressure of 6.40 Pa = 4.80 x 10.2mm Hg was obtained.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20ºC (293K) was 6.40 Pa = 4.80x10^-2 mmHg.
Executive summary:

The test was perfomanced according to the OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4. The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapours pressure of the test substance. The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20ºC (293K) was 6.40 Pa = 4.80x10^-2 mmHg.

Description of key information

20 °C

Additional information

Results from two reliable studies are available:


The test performed by NOTOX (2010) according to the OECD Guideline 104 and EU method A.4 applied the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. A vapour pressure for C10-DMA at 20ºC (293K) of 6.40 Pa resulted.


Siemens (2011) determined the vapour pressure of C10-DMA according to EU method A.4. Vapour pressure: Vapour pressure (dynamic method) and OECD test guideline OECD 104 (Vapour pressure), with the following results:
7.2 Pa at 20 °C,
11 Pa at 25 °C, and
61 Pa at 50 °C.


The key value for the vapour pressure at 20 °C is given as the arithmetic mean of corresponding values from both studies.
