For Amphopropionate C8 the weight loss per unit of time differed with test substance weight, indicating that a chemical process (reaction and/or decomposition) caused the weight loss. The weight loss of the test substance at 110°C-140°C was lower than the weight loss of the reference substance hexachlorobenzene at the same temperatures. The weight loss of the test substance at 170°C and 180°C was higher but the weight loss was probably caused by reaction and/or decomposition. Based on this the vapour pressure of the test substance is reported to be below that of hexachlorobenzene i.e. 1.47E-03 Pa.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of Amphopropionate C8 is < 0.00147 Pa at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of Amphopropionate C8 was determined according to OECD Guideline 104 (23 March 2006) and EU Method A.4 (29 December 1992) using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. The weight loss per unit of time differed with test substance weight, indicating that a chemical process (reaction and/or decomposition) caused the weight loss at temperatures above 150°C. The vapour pressure of the test substance was reported to be < 1.47E-03 Pa at 20°C.
