Table 4.6/1: Results of the Effusion method

No.	Temperature (°C)	Evaporation rate (kg/s)	Vapour pressure (Pa)
1	35	3.99 x 10^-10	0.13
2	40	5.95 x 10^-10	0.20
3	46	9.07 x 10^-10	0.31
4	51	1.45 x 10^-9	0.49

6	61	3.61 x 10^-9	1.24*
7	66	6.21 x 10^-9	2.16*

 

*Two values are slightly outside but very close to the recommended pressure range for the apparatus used (10^-3 to 1 Pa). Considering that the vapour pressures measured are inside (or very close to) the applicability domain of the method and given the good linearity of the measurements, the results are considered as valid.

Regression parameters are: log₁₀ P = 12.5416 - (4153.31 / T)

R² = 0.995

with P in Pa and T in K

 

The vapour pressure of the test item calculated by interpolation and extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C were 2.4 x 10^-2 (extrapolated), 4.1 x 10^-2 (extrapolated) and 4.9 x 10 ^-1 (interpolated) Pa, respectively.

 

Considering that the vapour pressures measured are inside (or very close to) the applicability domain of the method and given the good linearity of the measurements, the results are considered as valid.

Conclusions:

Low volatility (based on volatility bands criteria for occupational exposure (Chesar / ECETOC TRA), < 500 Pa).

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was measured under GLP according to OECD 104 / EU A4 guideline by an effusion method: Knudsen cell.

No thermal effects could be observed up to the maximum test temperature of 300 °C.

Seven measurements were performed in the temperature range of 35-66 °C.

The vapour pressure of the test item calculated by interpolation and extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C were 2.4 x 10^-2 (extrapolated), 4.1 x 10 ^-2 (extrapolated) and 4.9 x 10 ^-1 (interpolated) Pa, respectively.

Description of key information

Low volatility.
