Results

 

Thermal Stability

The test item showed no thermal effects in the temperature range of 25 - 300 °C.

 

Dynamic method: Vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE)

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 127.0 to 197.3 °C. The measured vapour pressure values together with the measured temperatures are listed in the table below.

Log10 ρ = A +  B / ( C + θ )

 

A = 10.5212

B = -3101.01

C = 273.15.

 

Final Results

The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20, 25 and 50 °C, according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.4.
