Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
March 23, 2021
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:
Alternative method most appropriate for this substance.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
OECD Guideline 104 (OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals) states vapor pressure may be calculated if the vapor pressure is expected to be less than 10 Pa. A different calculation method than the one detailed in Guideline 104’s Appendix, however, was deemed more appropriate for this sample type.
GLS Test Code 15118, Thermogravimetric analysis differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) Vapor Pressure, was used to determine the vapor pressure at 20 ºC of test material EC 701-251-5.
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
other: Thermogravimetric analysis differential thermal analysis
Key result
Test no.:
#1
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
ca. 0.032 Pa
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Conclusions:
The vapor pressure of the substance EC 701-251-5 was evaluated using a modified method most appropriate for the large molecular weight, highly viscous, substance that has a very low vapor pressure that cannot be measured by traditional means.
The vapor pressure in this study was 0.0315 Pa @20C
Executive summary:

The vapor pressure of the substance EC 701-251-5 was evaluated using a modified method most appropriate for the large molecular weight, highly viscous, substance that has a very low vapor pressure that cannot be measured by traditional means.

The vapor pressure in this study was 0.0315 Pa @20C

Description of key information

The vapor pressure was evaluated using a modified method most appropriate for the large molecular weight, highly viscous, substance that has a very low vapor pressure that cannot be measured by traditional means.

The vapor pressure in this study was estimated as 0.0315 Pa @20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.032 Pa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Vapor pressure was determined using an alternative method most appropriate for this type of material. The estimated value is 0,0315 Pa at 20 °C. In addition, a supporting study (Cheng, 2014) looked at the headspace vapor of EC 701 -251 -5 after the material was kept at 70 °C for 3 days. Neither the alkyl phenate sulfide substance or impurity (TPP; EC 310 -154 -3) was detected, further demonstrating that the vapor pressure is very low and inhalation exposure is expected to be low.
