Chemical name3,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-6-isopropylnaphtalene-2(1H)-one

FormulaC13H22O

Molecular weight194.3 g/mol

Function classKetone

Vapour pressure0.0708 hPa at 25 °C (7.08 Pa)

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 25 °C, a vapor pressure of 0.0708 hPa (≈ 7.080 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: high. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
