Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of Incozol 4 was determined to be 0.000496 Pa at 20 °C and 0.000828 Pa at 25 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of Incozol 4 according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4. Using the effusion method (weight loss) the vapour pressure of the test item Incozol 4 was determined at three different temperatures (30, 45 and 60 °C). All temperatures were evaluated as they showed reproducible weight loss. Thus, the result of the test can be considered valid. For these temperatures, 1/T was plotted against log (P). The graph 1/T vs. log (P) showed a straight line with a correlation coefficient of – 1.0000. The vapour pressures at 20 °C and at 25 °C were calculated from the regression equation. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 0.000496 Pa at 20 °C and 0.000828 Pa at 25 °C, respectively.

Additional information

A study was conducted to determine the vapour pressure of Incozol 4 according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4. Using the effusion method (weight loss) the vapour pressure of the test item Incozol 4 was determined at three different temperatures (30, 45 and 60 °C).

The graph 1/T vs. log (P) showed a straight line with a correlation coefficient of – 1.0000. The vapour pressures at 20 °C and at 25 °C were calculated from the regression equation. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 0.000496 Pa at 20 °C and 0.000828 Pa at 25 °C, respectively. No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
