The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure is expected to be in the range of 0.9 to 2.78 Pa at 20-25 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The vapour pressure of the multi-constituent substance was provided as a range for the three main constituents.

The vapour pressure for each constituent was estimated using the validated MPBPWIN model. The calculation was performed with a validated model and is considered to be a good representation of the physical-chemical properties of the substance. The calculation was therefore assigned a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality, as outlined in Klimisch (1997). The estimated values for the three components are:

3-Penten-2-one, 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-, (3E)-, CAS 72717-08-9, concentration range 30 -50% w/w in the substance: 2.09 Pa at 25°C

4-Penten-2-one, 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-, (E)-, concentration range 20 -30% w/w in the substance: 2.78 Pa at 25°C

5-hexen-3-one, 6-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)- (5E)-, CAS 72717-06-7, concentration range 10 -20% w/w in the substance: 1.65 Pa at 25°C

A measured value is available for the related substance, Ebanone (CAS 67801-15-4). The major component of Ebanone (present at a concentration range of 80 to 100%, typically 84%) is 4-penten-2-one, 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-, (E)-, which is the second component listed above for the registration substance. The vapour pressure was determined by the gas saturation method in line with EU Method A4, OECD Guideline 104 and Method 830.7950 of the OPPTS Guidelines but was not performed according to GLP. The study was therefore assigned a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the principles for assessing data described in Klimisch (1997).The vapour pressure of Ebanone was determined to be 0.90 Pa at 20°C.

 

Taking into consideration the estimated values for the 3 components and the measured value for 1 component, the vapour pressure of MTCP crude is considered to best represented by the range 0.9 to 2.78 Pa. 

 

A supporting study was available in the form of an experimental vapour pressure of the read-across substance 3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)pent-4-en-2-ol (Ebanol). The vapour pressure was determined by the balance method in line with EU Method A4, OECD Guideline 104 and Method 830.7950 of the OPPTS Guidelines and performed according to GLP. The study was therefore assigned a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the principles for assessing data described in Klimisch (1997). The vapour pressure of the read-across substance has been determined to be 0.89 Pa at 25°C. The results were included to demonstrate comparability in physical-chemical properties between Ebanol and MTCP Crude, since data on Ebanol has been used in this dossier to address certain endpoints for MTCP crude on the basis of read-across (for further details see read-across justification document, attached in section 13).
