Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the substance is 0.0025 at 25 degrees C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined using the vapour pressure balance method following EU Method A.4 guidelines. Measurements were taken between temperatures of 75 - 85 degrees C.  This range of temperatures was selected because the quantity of vapor generated was too low to measure in the range of 0 - 50 degrees C.

 

A plot of logPa vs. 1/K was generated from the experimental measurements from which the vapour pressure at 25 degrees C was extrapolated.

 

The vapour pressure of the test substance (based on five replicate measurements) is:

 

0.0025 Pa at 25 deg. C

0.023 Pa at 50 deg. C

 

The substance did not show a change in appearance under the conditions used in the determination.
