Chemical context

CAS14595-54-1
Chemical name4-Cyclopentadecen-1-one, (Z)-
FormulaC15H26O
Molecular weight222 g/mol
Function classKetone
Vapour pressure0.0003 Pa at 20 °C (3.00e-4 Pa)
Relative VP bandvery_low

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 0.0003 Pa (≈ 3.000e-4 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: very_low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
