DISCUSSION

The vapour pressure of the test item was measured using the static method as described in EU method A.4. Twelve pairs temperature/vapour pressure were used to calculate a regression from which vapour pressure at ambient temperature could be estimated.

From the measured values, the vapour pressure of the test item was calculated as 407 Pa at 20.0 °C and 528 Pa at 25 °C. The values of the heating and cooling down phase showed very good correspondence (the coefficient of determination (r²) is greater than 0.95)

Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.

Conclusions:

The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated as 407 Pa at 20 °C and 528 Pa at 25 °C.(interpolation)

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was measured under GLP using the static method as described in EU method A.4 and OECD 104.

Twelve determinations of vapour pressure were performed in a temperature range of 14.9 – 49.8 °C and the pairs of Temperature / Vapour pressure were used to calculate a regression from which vapour pressure at ambient temperature could be interpolated.

The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated as 407 Pa at 20 °C and 528 Pa at 25 °C.

Description of key information

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available.

It is considered as a key study and the result is retained as key data for the purpose of CSA.

Note that the result obtained on this kind of substance should be largely influence by small amounts of volatile constituents and these values don't represent the major part of the substance. Therefore the result should be considered with caution when used for subsequent assessment (worst case).
