Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
24-26 Apr 2001
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Hessisches Ministerium für Umwelt, Energie, Jugend, Familie und Gesundheit, Wiesbaden
Type of method:
effusion method: vapour pressure balance
Temp.:
20 °C
Vapour pressure:
< 0 hPa
Temp.:
50 °C
Vapour pressure:
< 0 hPa
Transition / decomposition:
yes
Transition temp.:
250 °C

The decomposition starting at 250 °C was determined in a preliminary measurement of thermal stability (DSC method). The actual vapour pressure measurements were conducted in the range 20 °C - 145 °C. No signal was observed in the whole range. Thus, the vapour pressure in the whole range was below the lower detection limit of 1E-05 hPa.

Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:

Qualifier:

Guideline:
other: REACH Guidance on QSARs
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Software tool(s) used including version: EPI Suite v4.11
- Model(s) used: Mpbpwin Model version 1.43
The model estimates vapour pressure by three different methods:
- the Antoine equation (Lyman WJ, Reehl WF and Rosenblatt DH. 1990. Handbook of Chemical Property Estimation Methods. Washington, DC: American Chemical Society);
- the Modified Grain Method (Lyman WJ. 1985. In: Environmental Exposure From Chemicals. Volume I. Neely WB and Blau GE (eds). Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, Inc., Chapter 2);
- the Mackay Method (Lyman WJ. 1985. In: Environmental Exposure From Chemicals. Volume I. Neely WB and Blau GE (eds). Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, Inc.).
MPBPWIN selects a “suggested” vapour pressure: the modified Grain for solids and the average of the Antoine and the modified Grain for liquids and gases.
A dataset of 3037 compounds with experimentally determined vapour pressure values has been used to evaluate the model (using the “suggested” values as outcome), giving a correlation coefficient of 0.914. The evaluation clearly shows that the model reliability decrease for vapour pressure below 0.0001 Pa.
The dataset contains 1642 compounds with available experimental Boiling points and Melting points. The correlation coefficient evaluated on this subset (0.949) indicates that VP estimates are more accurate when experimental BP and MP are available.

Additional information

The vapour pressure of the substance was determined according to OECD Guideline 104 and EU Method A.4 (effusion method - vapour pressure balance). The measured value was below the detection limit of 1E-05 hPa in the temperature range between 20 °C and 50 °C. Since no exact value was obtained in the experiment, QSAR model result (EPI Suite, MPBP v1.43) is used as supporting. The calculated value of 1.52E-07 Pa (1.52E-09 hPa) is in the range resulting from the experiment (< 1.0E-05 hPa).
