The data points measured at 30 °C and 20 °C (decreasing temperature) were not evaluable as the test cell was nearly empty.


From the measured data the parameters A, B and C of the Antoine equation can be derived by regression.


log (p/hPa) = A + B/(C+T[°C])

The vapour pressure values lor 20, 25 and 50 °C were interpolated (values at 20 °C and 25 °C) and extrapolated (value at 50 °C), using these Antoine constants A, B and C.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was 2.0 Pa at 20 °C, 3.5 Pa at 25 °C and 43 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 measured in the temperature range of 0 °C to 30 °C. After the measurement a mass loss of approx. 99 % (w/w) was determined. The data points measured at 30 °C and 20 °C (decreasing temperature) were not evaluable as the test cell was nearly empty.


Using the Antoine equation, the constants A, B and B were determined and the vapour pressure values for 20, 25 and 50 °C were interpolated (values at 20 °C and 25 °C) and extrapolated (value at 50 °C),. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 2.0 Pa at 20 °C, 3.5 Pa at 25 °C and 43 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.

Description of key information
