The vapour pressure was calculated using MPBPWIN v1.43 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency.
The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:
a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;
b) the (Q)SAR model is applicable to the query chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;
c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;
d) the (Q)SAR model is relevant for the regulatory purpose.
For assessment and justification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Description of key information
The vapour of methyl-ethylketone peroxide was estimated to be between 0.644 - 73.6 Pa at 25 °C. The vapour pressures of the three potential stabilizers were estimated to be between 8.8 x 10-2 Pa and 1.71 hPa.
As a worst case a vapour pressure of 73.6 Pa at 25 °C can be assumed for methyl-ethylketone peroxide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 73.6 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
The test method for determination of vapour pressure described in the test guideline A.4 of 2008/440/EC was replaced by a theory based evaluation as a reliable determination is not possible (methyl-etylketone peroxide of exist as solution (stabilizers) in solvents due to its reactivity.
The vapour pressure of methyl-ethylketone peroxide was calculated using EPIWIN (v. 4.00). Methyl-ethylketone peroxide consists of two compounds, the monomer and the dimer of methyl-ethylketone peroxide.
The vapour pressure of methyl-ethylketone peroxide (monomer) at 25 °C was estimated to be 0.552 mm Hg (73.6 Pa). The estimated vapour pressure of methyl-ethylketone peroxide (dimer) at 25 °C was 0.00483 mm Hg (0.644 Pa).
Methyl-ethylketone peroxide is produced in different solvents only as pure MEKP is not stable and cannot be handled. The three solvents which are used are 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-1,3-diyl bis(2-methylpropanoate) (=TXIB), dimethyl phthalate (=DMP) and diacetone alcohol.
The vapour pressure of TXIB was estimated to be 8.8 x 10 -2 Pa at 25°C (OECD SIDS 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, 1995). DMP was shown a vapour pressure between 0.008 hPa at 20 °C and 1.33 hPa at 100 °C (disseminated datatset). The vapour pressure of diacetone alcohol was estimated to be 1.12 - 1.71 hPa at 20°C (disseminated dataset). As a worst case a vapour pressure of 73.6 Pa at 25 °C can be assumed for methyl-ethylketone peroxide.
