Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the vapour pressure of the test material was 1.2 x 10^-3 Pa, 1.6 x 10^-3 Pa and 5.2 x 10^-3 Pa at 20, 25 and 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 104 and EU Method A.4, under GLP conditions.

The vapour pressure was examined using the effusion method with the Knudsen cell. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 30 °C to 100 °C.

After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 6 % (w/w) was determined. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C were calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C.

Under the conditions of this study, the vapour pressure of the test material was 1.2 x 10^-3 Pa, 1.6 x 10^-3 Pa and 5.2 x 10^-3 Pa at 20, 25 and 50 °C, respectively.

Additional information

The vapour pressure of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 104 and EU Method A.4, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The vapour pressure was examined using the effusion method with the Knudsen cell. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 30 °C to 100 °C.

After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 6 % (w/w) was determined. The values for 20, 25 and 50 °C were calculated, using the Antoine constants A, B and C.

Under the conditions of this study, the vapour pressure of the test material was 1.2 x 10^-3 Pa, 1.6 x 10^-3 Pa and 5.2 x 10^-3 Pa at 20, 25 and 50 °C, respectively.
