Specific details on test material used for the study:

4-chloroformylphthalic anhydride

Key result

Temp.:

20 °C

Vapour pressure:

<= 0.017 Pa

Key result

Temp.:

25 °C

Vapour pressure:

<= 0.03 Pa

Temperature (°C)	PT (Pa)
100	36 37
110	69 76
120	140 150
130	290 300

The equation of the curve was: log PT = -4559 x 1/T + 13.77 (r = 0.9990, n = 8).

The PT values of the test item at 20°C and 25°C were extrapolated using the vapour pressure regression curve.

Considering the results were obtained with a temperature program of above the melting temperature, the extrapolated vapour pressure of the test item could be slightly overestimated. Therefore, a limit value (<=) is retained.

Conclusions:

The vapour pressures of the test item at 20°C and 25°C are respectively: <= 0.017 and <= 0.030 Pa.
The test item can be considered of low volatility at ambient temperature.

Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item has been determined under GLP, according to recognized guidelines (EU A.4, OECD 104 and EPA OPPTS 830.7950), with the isothermal thermogravimetry (effusion) method. No deviation has been observed during the test.

Four measurements were recorded in duplicate between 100 and 130°C, i.e. above the melting point, so the results extrapolated from the linear regression below mp were considered as limit values.

The vapour pressures of the test item at 20°C and 25°C are respectively: <= 0.017 and <= 0.030 Pa.

The test item can be considered of low volatility at ambient temperature.

Description of key information
