Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 20 °C to 120 °C. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in the table. After the measurement the test item remained visually unchanged. No mass loss occurred.

The data point measured at 20 °C was not included in the linear regression because it was below the detection limit. The data point at 100 °C (decreasing temperature) was not evaluable as the test cell was empty.

 

 

For an extrapolation to lower temperatures the Antoine equation was used. This is a conservative estimation of the vapour pressure of the test item for the listed temperatures. In order to further ensure a conservative approach the vapour pressures were rounded up to the next order of magnitude in order to obtain final upper limit values for the vapour pressure.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 4.3E-5 Pa (20 °C),8.8E-5 Pa (25 °C) and 2.4E-3 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 20 and 120°C. The vapour pressures of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C were extrapolated by using the Antoine constants with following results: 4.3E-5 Pa (20 °C), 8.8E-5 Pa (25 °C) and 2.4E-3 Pa (50 °C).
