Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
Research document comparing vapour pressure of low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Evaporating single aerosol particles in an electrodynamic balance (EDB)
GLP compliance:
no
Key result
Test no.:
#1
Temp.:
ca. 25 °C
Vapour pressure:
ca. 0 Pa
Conclusions:
Low vapour pressure, below limits significant for exposure by inhalation and not relevant for environmental partitioning.
Executive summary:

Using EPISuite, the vapour pressure is estimated to be ca 0.1 Pa at 25 C. This is in line with modelled figures cited for oxalic and succinic acid, although it appears that the published figures are themselves based on calculation methods and not laboratory testing.

 

The key reference used that provides figures for measured vapour pressure and these appear much lower than those predicted. The figures for oxalic, malonic and succinic acid respectively are 0.00025, 0.00006 and 0.000008 Pa, with correlation with molecular weights.
