Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the substance was calculated to be 4.32E-32 Pa at 25 °C using the MPBPVP method of EPISUITE.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Two reliable results are available, one from an experimental study and one QSAR which are evaluated in a weight-of-evidence approach.. The experimental result is based on a study using the Knudsen effusion method (mass-loss technique), according to the guidelines OECD 104 / EU A.4.

The vapour pressure was found to be 2.2 x 10-4 Pa at 20 °C (1.6 x 10-3 Pa at 50 °C). However this result was evaluated to be questionable although the study followed the guideline. However, limited documentation for this study is available and thus it is reliable with restrictions. It was thought that a substance with a molecular weight of 1115 and higher should have a much lower vapour pressure.

The substance is only produced and marketed in solution. The solvent can be removed without changing the identity of the substance. However for the measurement of the vapour pressure it is essential to remove also any traces of remaining solvent as those have a strong effect on the outcome. It is thought that this is the case in this example, therefore the value measured in the Fonseca study is believed to be questionable.

Therefore a QSAR was generated using the MPBPVP method of EPISUITE. The result of 4.32E-32Pa at 25 °C differs drastically from the measured result, but was evaluated to be more reliable.
