Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 2.1E-3 Pa (20 °C), 5.3E-3 Pa (25 °C) and 3.5E-1 Pa (50 °C).
Executive summary:

A study was performed according to OECD TG 104 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, method A.4 in order to determine the vapour pressure of the test item by using the effusion method. The vapour pressure was measured by determining the boiling point of the test item at various temperatures between about 24 and 59°C. The vapour pressures of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C determined to be: .1E-3 Pa (20 °C), 5.3E-3Pa (25 °C) and 3.5E-1 Pa (50 °C).
