Additional information
The vapour pressure of the substance was determined with the use of Grain-Watson estimation as outlined in the OECD Guideline 104. The experimental result of the vapour pressure measurement using the DSC method was not in the appropriate validity range with respect to this method and it was discarded.
The Grain-Watson calculation is based on the lowest possible boiling temperature, which in fact is probably a decomposition temperature. In a peer reviewed SIDS Initial Assessment Profile for alkyl sulphates (structurally related to alcohols ethoxylated, sulphated; SIAM 25, 17 -18 October, 2007) it is stated that: "As ionic substances, all members of this category have extremely low vapour pressures. Calculated values are in the ranges 1E-11 hPa to 1E-15 hPa (C8 -18 alkyl sulphates) (...) Therefore, they decompose before reaching their theoretical boiling points". Thus, the obtained value should be considered an upper limit of the vapour pressure and accepted for the risk assessment calculations in the sense of a "worst-case scenario".
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
