Function classEster

Vapour pressure0.000336 mmHg at 23 °C (0.0448 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 23 °C a vapor pressure of 0.000336 mmHg (≈ 0.0448 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
