Any other information on results incl. tables

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 22 °C to 144 °C. Above 66 °C a

vapour pressure could be measured. The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding

temperatures are listed in the following table:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance is 0.000033 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined in a guideline study (EU A.4; OECD TG 104) with a vapour pressure balance (effusion method). The vapour pressure is 0.000033 Pa at 25 °C.
