Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The vapour pressure as a function of the temperature may be expressed by the following regression equation:

ln(p/hPa) = 16.6675-3289.53/ (219.95 + t / °C)

The vapour pressure at 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C was calculated from this equation.

The test item is liquid in the temperature range of the measurements.
