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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The following results have been obtained from several databases and calculation software for the vapour pressure:
1) 0.00189 mm Hg = 0.0025 hPa (at 25 °C) [HSDB, 2006]
2a) 0.0025 mbar = 0.0025 hPa (at 25 °C) [Gestis, 2010]
2b) 1.3 mbar = 1.3 hPa (at 107 °C) [Gestis, 2010]
3) 0.3 Pa = 0.003 hPa (at 25 °C) [IPCS, 1999]
4a) 0.000687 mmHg =0.000916 hPa (at 25 °C) [MPBPWIN 1.43; exp. data by Ohe, S., 1976]
4b) 0.000313 mmHg =0.000418 hPa (at 25 °C) [MPBPWIN 1.43; calculated data using Modified Grain Method]
Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information
In the "Hazardous Substances Database" (HSDB) a vapour pressure of 0.00189 mm Hg (= 0.0025 hPa) at 25 °C is reported for triethyl citrate.
In the GESTIS substance database a vapour pressure of 0.0025 mbar (= 0.0025 hPa) at 25 °C and 1.3 mbar (=1.3 hPa) at 107 °C are reported for triethyl citrate.
In the "International Programme on Chemical Safety" (IPCS) database a vapour pressure of 0.3 Pa (= 0.003 hPa) at 25 °C is reported for triethyl citrate. No further details are available in all three databases.
As these results are (almost) identical, the key value was chosen to be 0.0025 hPa at 25 °C.
Further, the estimation of vapour pressure (as well as melting and boiling point) was done by the MPBPWIN program (v 1.43) made available by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This program requires just the input of the chemical structure of the desired compound by SMILES notation. The calculation is done by three different methods: Antoine, Modified Grain and Mackay, whereby the Modified Grain method is preferentially utilized. By taking this method into account and using an experimental boiling point of 286.8 °C triethyl citrate has a vapour pressure of 0.000313 mm Hg at 25 °C. Finally, an experimental value is also stated in the database of the program, which confirms the estimated result: 0.000687 mmHg (=0.0916 Pa) at 25°C (Ohe, S., 1976).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
