The log PT versus 1/T curve for the substance over the range 100 - 120°C showed poor linearity (correlation coefficient r < 0.99), probably due to decomposition of the substance. Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C or 25°C would not give reliable results for the vapour pressure of the substance at these temperatures.Since the weight loss of the test item at 100°C, 110°C, and 120°C was lower than the weight loss of reference substance hexachlorobenzene at the same temperatures, it was considered that vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C (25°C) is lower than the vapour pressure of hexachlorobenzene at 20°C (25°C).

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C was determined to be <1.5E-3 Pa.
The vapour pressure of the substance at 25°C was determined to be <4.0E-3 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method in a GLP study according to EC A.4, OECD 104 and OPPTS 830.7950.

The constants specific for the experimental arrangement were determined using a set of 5 reference compounds. The log PT versus 1/T curve for the substance over the range 100 -120°C showed poor linearity (correlation coefficient r < 0.99), probably due to decomposition of the substance. Extrapolation of the curve to 20°C or 25°C would not give reliable results for the vapour pressure of the substance at these temperatures. From the measured weight losses in the temperature range 100 -120°C, the vapour pressure of the substance was determined to be lower than the vapour pressure of reference substance hexachlorobenzene. The vapour pressure of the substance at 20°C and 25°C was concluded to be < 1.5E-3 Pa and < 4.0E-3 Pa, resp.
