Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental Dates: 14 to 22 October 2019

First trial

 Temperature (°C)  Vapour pressure (Pa)
 22.8  6.8759
 26.0  9.3675
 32.7  20.0684
 39.8  41.7752
 47.6  83.4240

A plot of log10 (VP) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with VP in Pa and T in K) gives the following relationship:

Log10 (VP (Pa)) = -4206.8/ T (K) + 15.048

R² = 0.9992

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 4.99 Pa at 293.15 K and 8.69 Pa at 298.15 K.

Second trial

 Temperature (°C)  Vapour pressure (Pa)
 22.7  6.8382
 26.0  9.3307
 32.4  19.7705
 39.5  41.7740
 47.1  83.9106

A plot of log10 (VP) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T) (with VP in Pa and T in K) gives the following relationship:

Log10 (VP (Pa)) = -4294.0 / T (K) + 15.342

R² = 0.9991

The above equation yields a vapour pressure of 4.94 Pa at 293.15 K and 8.70 Pa at 298.15 K.

The test item did not change in appearance under the conditions used in the determination.

Mean of trials 1 and 2: 4.97 Pa at 293.15 K (20°C) and 8.70 Pa at 298.15 K (25°C).

Conclusions:
Low volatility (based on volatility bands criteria for occupational exposure (Chesar / ECETOC TRA), << 500 Pa).
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was measured, under GLP, according to OECD 104 / EU A4 guideline, using the Knudsen effusion method.

Two trials were performed. For each trial, five pairs temperature/mass loss were used to calculate corresponding vapour pressure of the substance at temperatures between ca 25 and 50°C. Then the logarithm of the vapour pressure log10 (VP(Pa)) is plotted against 1/T(K), and the regression curve is

used to calculate the vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C and 25°C.

The vapour pressure of the test substance is 5.0 Pa at 20°C and 8.7 Pa at 25°C.

Description of key information

Low volatility.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. The interpolated result at 25°C is retained as key value.
