Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

A linear regression was derived from the six values available in the handbook:

log VP (in Pa) = -2079.6 / T (in K) + 11.165

coef determination (R2) = 0.9786

The vapour pressure at 20, 40, 70 and 110°C were calculated from this equation, for purpose of risk assessment (process temperatures).

It should be noted that, up to 110°C, the relationship between VP and (1/)T may not be linear anymore. The extrapolated value was nevertheless calculated from the linear regression, as a worst-case for risk assessment purpose, compared to the non-linear Antoine equation (for information, 170 kPa at 110°C).

Conclusions:
The constituent has HIGH volatility (based on volatility bands criteria for occupational exposure (Chesar / ECETOC TRA), > 10 kPa).
Executive summary:

The CRC handbook provides various physico-chemical parameters.

For the substance Tetrachloromethane, a series of 6 vapour pressure/temperature values are available, between 1 Pa and 100 kPa.

Vapour pressures of 11.8, 33,4 and 127 kPa were interpolated from the derived linear regression, for 20, 40 and 70°C respectively, and an extrapolated value of 546 kPa was calculated for 110°C.

Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
12 kPa
Conclusions:
The constituent has HIGH volatility (based on volatility bands criteria for occupational exposure (Chesar / ECETOC TRA), > 10 kPa).
Executive summary:

The OECD SIAP provides some physico-chemical parameters within the framework of the human health and environmental assessment.

For vapour pressure, a measured value of 12 kPa at 20°C is cited.

Additional information

Numerous published data were available for the constituent. Two sources were selected, considered as reliable, and providing a consensus value:

- the CRC handbook gives a series of VP/T data, that allowed to derive a linear regression, and use it to calculate the estimated VP at the various process temperatures, for risk assessment purpose;

- the OECD SIAP is said to be a measured data, and the given value of 12 kPa at 20°C is very consistent with the value calculated from the above regression.

For consistency purpose, all key values retained come from the CRC data regression.
