Conclusions:
The test substance, Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2- methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid, was found to have a vapour pressure of 2 x 10-4 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

OECD 104 (2012) - The vapour pressure was determined using a vapour pressure balance.

 

A quantity of test substance (1.5 g) was added to the furnace, the apparatus assembled and evacuated to a pressure of less than 1 x 10-5Torr (1.3 x 10-3Pa).

 

After stabilisation at a given temperature, the shutter was opened to allow a stream of vapour to impact upon one balance pan. The temperature and pan deflection were recorded on a chart recorder. The trace obtained enabled the calculation of mass difference. The furnace temperature was then raised in steps of approximately 5 ºC and further measurements taken.

 

Two definitive runs were performed between temperatures of 33 and 77 °C, the pressure being kept at less than 1 x 10-5 Torr (1.3 x 10-3 Pa) throughout. Initial runs were disregarded, the high and variable results being indicative of degassing and/or removal of volatile impurities. Mass differences, condensation rates and the sample temperature were monitored on a chart recorder on every occasion that the shutter was opened.
