Discussion

The test item appeared to have softened slightly under the conditions used in the determination.

No statistical analyses were performed because the balance readings were too low and variable for a line of best fit to have any meaning. Instead it was considered more appropriate to impose a regression slope on a chosen data point to provide an estimate of the maximum value for the vapor pressure at 25 ºC.

Run 4 was chosen because the sample had been under vacuum for the longest period prior to this run and so degassing would have been the most complete. The reading at 28 ºC (301 K) was chosen because this is the data point which gives the highest estimated vapor pressure at any given temperature when a slope of –1500 K is imposed upon it.

The value of –1500 K is an in-house value and is the shallowest slope observed whilst determining the vapor pressure on a wide range of samples using the vapor pressure balance method. Extrapolation to 25 ºC gave a vapor pressure of 4.90 x 10-3Pa which has been taken as a maximum for this material.

Conclusions:
The vapor pressure of the test item has been determined to be less than 4.9 x 10-3 Pa at 25 ºC.
Executive summary:

The vapor pressure of Formaldehyde, reaction products with benzenamine and 4,4'-methylenebis[phenol] has been determined to be less than 4.9 x 10-3Pa at 25 °C, using the vapor pressure balance method designed to be compatible with Method A.4 Vapour Pressure of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 104 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 23 March 2006.
