Any other information on results incl. tables

The measured vapour pressures are descended from the additive of the test item. Above 140°C the course of the vapour pressure shows an untypical profile. This could be explained with the volatile additives of the test item.

The measured vapour pressure of the test item decreases at higher temperature (the vapour pressure at constant temperature e.g. 150°C decreases over time). This indicates that the measured vapour pressure cannot be related to the pure test item but it is caused by mass limited additives, contained in the test item. This explains the constant or decreasing vapour pressure at higher temperatures > 140°C

Due to this only the vapour pressure data < 140°C (data points 1 -8) are used for the calculation of the regression and to determine the Antoine constants A,B and C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Good quality study. The calculated vapour pressure values are 7.5e-9 Pa (20°C), 1.8e-8 Pa (25°C) and 8.4e-7 Pa (50°C).
