The logarithm of the vapour pressure was plotted as a function if the inverse temperature 1/T. From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve the constants A and B of the Antoine equation (log p = A + B/T) can be derived by regression of the data points toA = 11.8405 and B = -3266.10. Tha vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C was calculated by extrapolation.

Conclusions:
The estimated vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C is 5 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined according to Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method A.4. Vapour pressure and OECD Test Guideline 104 (2006). The dynamic method was used to determine the vapour pressure in the temperature range of 115.6 to 135.5. 10 measurement points were recorded.The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C to be 5, 8 and 54 Pa, respectively.

Description of key information
