Chemical context

CAS18479-58-8
Chemical name2,6-dimethyloct-7-ene-2-ol
FormulaC10H20O
Molecular weight156 g/mol
Vapour pressure0.0788 Pa at 20 °C (0.0788 Pa)
Relative VP bandlow

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 0.0788 Pa (≈ 0.0788 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
