Principles of method if other than guideline:

The study was carried out in a TGA that uses a horizontally positioned oven instead of a vertically positioned one. This means that the sample carrier plate is in a horizontal position and the constant nitrogen flow streams from right to left. It is not expected that this deviation affects the outcome of the study, since the reference substances were measured using the same configuration.

Calibration 

The calibration was carried out one month before this study. For each reference substance the evaporation rate at 20°C, determined in this calibration, and the known vapor pressure are mentioned in the table below. The calibration curve is also shown in the attachment.

The calibration resulted in the following values:

- constant C     : 3.7224

- constant D     : 1.0527

- r²                     : 0.9976

- n                    : 5

Check of nitrogen flow rate.

 

The flow rate was within the range of 53.4 ± 0.2 ml/min.

 

Vapourpressure of test substance 

  

The evaporation rate of the test substance was measured at 25°C and 30°C:

- at 25°C          : v_T= 4.43 x 10^-7g.cm^-2.h^-1

- at 30°C          : v_T= 2.56 x 10^-6g.cm^-2.h^-1

 

The evaporation rate at 20°C can be calculated from the measured rates at 25°C and 30°C by linear extrapolation of log v_Tversus 1/T according to equation (2). This results in:

v_T,20= 7.21 x 10^-8g.cm^-2.h^-1.

 

The vapor pressure of the test substance at 20°C can be calculated by using equation (3).

This results in: p_T,20= 1.6 x 10^-4

 

Conclusions:

The vapour pressure of dilauroyl peroxide at 20°C is 0.00016 Pa.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of the substance by Isothermal Thermo gravimetric Effusion method.

The vapour pressure of dilauroyl peroxide at 20°C is 1.6 x 10^-4Pa.
