Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2007
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study follows an internal method that is in accordance with norm annex A.4 of the Directive 92/69/EEC.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
dynamic method
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
0.003 mBar

The test included 11 values of temperature/pressure. Please see attached graph in the section « Attached background information ». In the range 120 to 150°C, three data points are available:

126°C / 3 mbar

136°C / 5 mbar

150°C / 10 mbar

 

Based on all these data a log p versus 1/T curve was established. Its equation is :

log P(T) = 9,634 + (-3660,304) / (T + 273)

Based on this curve, an estimate of the vapour pressure at 20°C is calculated to be 0.0025 mbar

 

Conclusions:
Vapour pressure of 2-ethylhexylal was calculated as 0.00139 mBar (or 0.139 Pa) at 20°C and 0.02003 mBar (or 2.003 Pa) at 50°C.
Executive summary:

Vapour pressure of 2-ethylhexylal was measured following an internal method that is in accordance with norm annex A.4 of the Directive 92/69/EEC. The method consist in the determination of a temperature-pressure curve in a pressure range of about 10 to 1000 hPa by the dynamic method. If 20 °C lies outside the temperature range belonging to this pressure range, the vapour pressure at 20 °C is calculated by extrapolation.

Vapour pressure of 2-ethylhexylal was calculated as 0.00139 mBar (or 0.139 Pa) at 20°C and 0.02003 mBar (or 2.003 Pa) at 50°C.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure of 2-ethylhexylal was measued following an internal method that is in accordance with norm annex A.4 of the Directive 92/69/EEC. The method consist in the determination of a temperature-pressure curve in a pressure range of about 10 to 1000 hPa by the dynamic method. If 20 °C lies outside the temperature range belonging to this pressure range, the vapour pressure at 20 °C is calculated by extrapolation.

Vapour pressure of 2-ethylhexylal was calculated as 0.00139 mBar (or 0.139 Pa) at 20°C and 0.02003 mBar (or 2.003 Pa) at 50°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
