- The test substance vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 65 °C up to 77 °C. Extrapolation was carried out, showing that error increases drastically with too far extrapolation.

- The measurements were performed at tempertaures that are far above the SADT of the tets substance. Handeling the test substance at these temperatures while doing the DSC test was possible because very low amounts were used and the measurements were very fast.

Conclusions:

At temperatures between 65 °C to 77 °C vapour pressure between 0.53 to 2.0 mBar was measured for tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (TBPND).

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of TBPND, 95 % purity, was measured at various temperatures with vaccum DSC. The temperature range of the method is limited. The lower pressure limit depends on the capacity of the vacuum pump (about 0.5 mbar), the lower temperature limit of the DSC-apparatus (25 °C) or by the melting point of the product. The upper limit depends on the thermal stability of the product. In the case of the test item, the lower pressure is limited by the pump capacity. The vapour pressure of the test item in the temperature range of 65 °C to 77 °C was measured although the temperatures were above the SADT. That was feasible in this DSC test as the amounts used were low and the measurements were very fast. At temperatures between 65 °C and 77 °C, vapour pressure between 0.53 to 2.0 mBar was measured for tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (TBPND). Extrapolation of the obtained results showed that the error in the pressure will increase at extrapolation.

Additional information

The vapour pressure of tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (TBPND), 95 % purity, was measured at various temperatures with vaccum DSC. The vapour pressure of the test substance in the temperature range of 65 °C to 77 °C was measured although the temperatures were above the SADT. That was feasible in this DSC test as the amounts used were low and the measurements were very fast. At temperatures between 65 °C to 77 °C, vapour pressure between 0.53 to 2.0 mBar was measured for TBPND. Extrapolation of the obtained results showed that the error in the pressure will increase at extrapolation. Based on the measured value at 65 °C the vapour pressure was extrapolated to 4.65 Pa at 25 °C and 0.71 Pa at 0 °C the last of which consider the temperature of the industrial use.
