Conclusions:
The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of 6,6´-di-tert-butyl-2,2`-thiodi-p-cresol.
A value of the vapour pressure of the test item was determined using the data obtained between 140 °C and 170 °C. The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated (mean of three determinations) to: 6.09E-4 Pa at 20 °C.
This value however is expected to be overestimated, because it was determined from the molten material.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the vapour pressure of the 6,6´-di-tert-butyl-2,2`-thiodi-p-cresol using the isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method. The evaporation rates of the test item at elevated temperatures and ambient pressure were determined by monitoring the weight loss over the time.

 

The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of 6,6´-di-tert-butyl-2,2`-thiodi-p-cresol.

 

A value of the vapour pressure of the test item was determined using the data obtained between 140 °C and 170 °C. The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated (mean of three determinations) to: 6.09 × 10-4Pa at 20 °C.

 

This value however is expected to be overestimated, because it was determined from the molten material.
