Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.

Measured values for Linalool, and where each one comes from

16 measured values for 10 properties, read from 1 public database. On 2 properties the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.

Boiling point

1 record

Used with vapour pressure to judge how readily the substance reaches the air you breathe.

198 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Melting point

1 record

Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.

Freezing point: below -74 °C /OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)/: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Flash point

2 records, 71 to 78 °C

The lowest temperature at which the liquid gives off enough vapour to ignite. It decides the GHS flammable liquid category.

78 °C (172 °F) - closed cup: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
160 °F (71 °C) (closed cup): Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Auto-ignition temperature

1 record

The temperature at which the substance ignites with no spark or flame. It sets safe surface and process temperatures.

455 °F (235 °C): Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Vapour pressure

1 record

The higher it is, the faster the substance evaporates into the workplace air at room temperature.

0.159 mm Hg at 23.5 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Density

2 records differ

Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.

0.865 at 15 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Density: 0.870 g/cu cm at 15 °C/4 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Solubility

2 records, each a different case

Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.

In water, 1590 mg/L at 25 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Soluble in alcohol, ether, fixed oils, propylene glycol; insoluble in glycerin: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Partition coefficient (log Kow)

1 record

Indicates whether the substance accumulates in fat or in water, which drives the environmental sections.

log Kow = 2.97: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Viscosity

1 record

Governs how far a spill spreads and how fast it soaks into a surface or a sorbent.

4.465 mPa s at 25 °C (dynamic): Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Odour

4 records, each a different case

Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.

Odor similar to that of bergamot oil and French lavender: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Typical floral odor free from camphoraceous and terpenic notes: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Floral, spicy, wood odor: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Flowery-fresh odor and reminiscent of Lily of the Valley: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

These are the public records read for Linalool, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
