Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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.

Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
1999
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
secondary literature
Remarks:
Documentation insufficient for assessment: no certificate of analysis of the test substance; test performed at one temperature only; individual analytical determinations not reported
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to other study
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Stripping method which involved stripping a solute from a nonsaturated aqueous solution by an air stream. This experiment gives a value gamma P from which vapor pressure can be deduced. the vapor pressure is determined by combining two independant experiments. Knowledge of gamma P and solubility S allows the calculation of vapor pressure using the following equation :
P= alphaVPTS/G where G is the molar output aeration rate and V the volume of liquid in the reactor.
GLP compliance:

Type of method:

other: ± 35 Pa

Literature data:

- Experimental value: 253 Pa at 24 °C (Simon et al., 1995)

- Estimated value (ACD/PVAP Web Service V.2.6, 1995): 305 Pa

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of myrcene at 25°C was determined to be 251 ± 35 Pa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the vapor pressure of myrcene using stripping method.

 

The vapour pressure of myrcene at 25°C was determined to be 251 ± 35 Pa.

Conclusions:
The reported vapour pressure of myrcene, experimentaly measured, is 267.98 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of myrcene, reported from Perry’s Chemical Handbook. Physical and Chemical Data, 6thEdition, is 267.98 Pa at 25°C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of MYRCENE (experimental value) was determined to be 251 +/- 35 Pa  at 25°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
251 Pa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The experimental value of the vapour pressure available for the registered substance (literature data) is supported by the secondary litterature data given in an Handbook. Therefore this value is proposed as key value in a Weight of Evidence approach.
