Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The DSC-measurement in closed glass crucible with the test item showed multiple endothermic effects in the temperature range of 55 – 100 °C, 100 – 140 °C, 165 – 210 °C and 215 – 280 °C.

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 5 °C to 74 °C. Above 48 °C a vapour pressure could be measured. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed below:

Temperature / °C

The vapour pressure data showed an unusual behaviour with a two-staged curve shape. Only the values starting from 55 °C will be used for the evaluation as this yields more conservative results (for 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C). A molecular mass of 368.25 g/mol was used for this evaluation.

The vapour pressure (logarithmic scale) is evaluated as a function of the inverse temperature (1/T, T in Kelvin) for all values. Only for better readability the temperature is reported in a centigrade scale.

The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C are calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C. This result will be given as final result as it is more conservative.

Log (p/hPa) = A+B/(C+T/[°C]) with A=7.83417, B=-3339.21 and C=273.15

The following vapour pressure values for the test item were extrapolated from the experimental data:

Additional information

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined by the effusion method (vapour pressure balance) according to OECD Guideline 104. The vapour pressure at 20, 25 and 50 °C was extrapolated from the vapour pressure curve.

The vapour pressure data showed an unusual behaviour with a two-staged curve shape. Only the values starting from 55 °C will be used for the evaluation as this yields more conservative results (for 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C) as a worst case scenario.
