Henry's Law Constant (HLC) is calculated as described in ECHA's Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment R.16, using the following equation:

HLC = VP * MW / WS

With:

- VP = Vapour pressure expressed in Pa

- MW = Molecular weight expressed in g/mol

- WS = Water Solubility expressed in mg/L (which is equivalent to g/m3)

- HLC = Henry constant expressed in Pa * m3 / mol

The input parameters used are:

- VP = 4190 Pa at 20°C

- MW = 134 g/mol, note that the substance is an UVCB. The molecular weight of the most important constituent has been selected for the calculation of the Henry's law constant. The MW selected is that of p-cymene, present 25 -33%.

- WS = 111 mg/L at 20°C

Hence, the resulting HLC is:

HLC = 5058.2 Pa * m3 / mol

Conclusions:
The Henry's law constant was calculated to be 5058.2 Pa m³/mol.
Executive summary:

The HLC was calculated in accordance with equation R.16-4 of the ECHA Guidance on IR & CSA, using experimentally determined values for vapour pressure and water solubility. The resulting value is: HLC =  5058.2 Pa m3/mol at 20°C.
