Relative VP bandhigh

The Pa value is a unit conversion only, not a temperature normalisation. VP band and molecular weight are not translated into evaporation hours.

At 20 °C, a vapor pressure of 0.01 mmHg (≈ 1.333 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: high. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
