Conclusions:
In a GLP study conducted according to OECD Guideline 104, the estimated vapour pressure of EC# 434-650-5 test material at 25oC, based on linear regression analysis of the log p versus 1/T curve generated from measured vapour pressures at 30, 40 and 50oC, was 0.0236 Pa.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study conducted according to OECD Guideline 104 and EC Method A.4, the vapour pressure of EC# 434-650-5 test material was determined by the gas saturation method. Briefly, the neat test material was coated onto glass beads, which were transferred to a saturator column and subject to a stream of inert carrier gas (N2) at a constant temperature (+/- 0.5 degrees centigrade). The resulting vapour-saturated gas was passed through XAD-2 sorbent tubes to absorb the MRD-99-422, which was then extracted with methylene chloride. Gas chromatography was used to determine the quantity of test substance transferred. Triplicate determinations were carried out at 30, 40 and 50oC. The gas flow rates were 100 ml/min at the two higher temperatures or 200 ml/min at the lowest temperature.

The mean vapour pressures at 30, 40 and 50oC were 0.0318, 0.0874 and 0.132 Pa, respectively. Based on linear regression analysis of the log p versus 1/T curve of these measurements, the estimated vapour pressure at 25oC is 0.0236 Pa.

Runs 1 and 2 are disregarded due to the poor linear relationship obtained and evidence of degassing. The mean vapour pressure of 3.4 10 -6 Pa at 25 degrees C was obtained from runs 3 and 4.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance is 3.6 x 10-6 Pa at 25 degrees C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of a substance is defined as the saturation pressure above a solid or liquid substance. At the thermodynamic equilibrium, the vapour pressure of a pure substance is a function of temperature only.

The vapour pressure was determined using a vapour pressure balance. 0.35g of test substance was added to the furnace, the apparatus assembled and evacuated to a pressure of less than 1 x 10 -4 Torr. A series of 4 runs were performed between temperatures and 33 and 181 degrees C. As no condensation occurred, the vapour pressure is related to only to the observed mass difference.

The mean vapour pressure of 3.4 x 10 -6 Pa was obtained from two liner plots (runs 3 and 4) - runs 1 and 2 were disregarded due to the poor linear relationship obtained and evidence of degassing.

Therefore, the vapour pressure of the test substance is 3.4 x10 -6 Pa at 25 degrees C.

Based on the physical chemical similarities, this study is considered suitable for read-across to EC:457 -320 -2.

Description of key information

There are 2 vapour pressure results available on EC: 434 -650 -5 which are considered suitable for read-across to EC: 457 -320 -2.


In a supporting GLP study (1999) conducted according to OECD Guideline 104, the estimated vapour pressure of EC# 434-650-5 test material at 25oC, based on linear regression analysis of the log p versus 1/T curve generated from measured vapour pressures at 30, 40 and 50oC, was 0.0236 Pa.


A key GLP study is available conducted according to OECD 104 (2000). The mean vapour pressure of 0.0000034 Pa on EC: 434 -650 -5 was obtained via vapour pressure balance method. This result can be read-across to EC: 457 -320 -2 and is used for the purposes of the chemical safety assessment.
