Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

values on vapour-pressure are recorded referring to a temperature-range of 20 -85 °C

Conclusions:
At 20°C and at 85°C, vapour pressures of 0.001 and 0.1 mm Hg (0.13 and 13 Pa) were measured.
Executive summary:

Vapour pressures of methenamine at a temperature-range of 20-85 °C under high vacuum were determined. At 20°C and at 85°C, vapour pressures of 0.001 and 0.1 mm Hg (0.13 and 13 Pa) were measured. At a temperature-range from 195 -405 °C decomposition was observed.

Description of key information

Several values for the vapour pressure of methenamine were determined at a temperature-range of 20-85 °C under high vacuum. At 20°C and at 85°C,vapourpressures of 0.001 and 0.1 mm Hg (0.13 and 13 Pa) were measured.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.13 Pa
at the temperature of:
293.15 K
