Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Tartaric acid and its salts have negligible vapour pressures.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Vapour pressure:
- 0 Pa
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
A collection of the vapour pressure values was performed for tartaric acid and its salts.
For tartaric acid the determination of vapour pressure was performed in compliance with guidelines OECD No. 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve, Gas saturation method) and Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.4 (Vapour Pressure, Gas Saturation Method) and under GLP standards. The vapour pressure of tartaric acid was resulted lower than the limit of detection (L.O.D.) of the analytical method (i.e. < 0,000000393 mmHg at 40°C and 20°C). In addition, one literature data of vapour pressure for tartaric acid was available (i.e. 0.0000000493 Torr at 25°C).
Vapour pressure of calcium tartrate was determined according to OECD Guideline 104: the vapour pressure of the test item extrapolated at 25 °C is P = 2.8 x 10-5 Pa.
Since these numbers are extremely low, the vapor pressure was deemed to be a negligible properties for tartaric acid and its salts.
The key value for the chemical safety assessment was < 0,000000393 mmHg at 20°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
