Molecular weight208.3 g/mol
Vapour pressure0.001065 mmHg at 23 °C (0.142 Pa)
Relative VP bandmedium

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

At 23 °C a vapor pressure of 0.001065 mmHg (≈ 0.1420 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: medium. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion or skin/blotter duration.
