A representative weight loss curve of the test material is shown in Figure 1 (attached). The vapour pressure regression curve of the log PT of the test material as function of the reciprocal temperatures is shown in Figure 2 (attached). The equation of the curve was:

log PT = -5836 × 1/T + 13.84 (r = 0.9994, n = 8).

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the vapour pressure of the test material was determined to be = 0.00000085 Pa at 20 °C and = 0.0000018 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 104 and EU Method A.4, under GLP conditions.

The isothermal TGA effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of the test material. The weight losses of the test material had to be determined at temperatures above the melting temperature of the test material. According to this, the vapour pressure of the test material (which was, according to the method, extrapolated to 20 °C and 25 °C) could be slightly overestimated and is reported as less than or equal to values.

Under the conditions of the study, the vapour pressure of the test material was determined to be = 0.00000085 Pa at 20 °C and = 0.0000018 Pa at 25 °C.
