Vapour pressure0.000018 mmHg at 23 °C (0.0024 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 23 °C, a vapor pressure of 0.000018 mmHg (≈ 2.400e-3 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: very_low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
