The vapour pressure was measured in the overall temperature range of 20 °C to 120 °C (first measurement 50 °C to 120 °C, second measurement 20 °C to 40 °C). The measured vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed below. After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 100 % (w/w) (first measurement) and approx.1 % (second measurement) was determined.

The data points measured above 90 °C could not be evaluated. The data point at 90 °C showed a decreasing tendency. lt was assumed that the vapour pressure at these temperatures led to a significantly increased evaporation. This is in accordance to a nearly empty test cell after the test. In order to exclude an influence on the data points at lower temperatures the measurement was repeated.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 1.6E-3 Pa at 20 °C, 3.3E-3 Pa at 25 °C and 9.6E-2 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item using the effusion method: vapour pressure balance. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at temperatures between 20 and 90 °C. Using the Antoine equation, the constants A and B were determined and the vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C was extrapolated from the experimental vapour pressure. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined to be 1.6E-3 Pa at 20 °C, 3.3E-3 Pa at 25 °C and 9.6E-2 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
