Measured values for Cinnamaldehyde, and where each one comes from

14 measured values for 9 properties, read from 1 public database. Every record agrees. 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.

253 °C @ 760 MM HG (SLIGHT DECOMP): 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.

-7.5 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Flash point

1 record

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

120 °C closed cup: 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.

2.89X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Vapour density

1 record

Above 1 the vapour sinks and collects in pits, sumps and low enclosed spaces.

VAPOR DENSITY: 4.6 (AIR= 1): Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Density

1 record

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

1.048-1.052 at 25 °C/25 °C: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Solubility

5 records, each a different case

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

Dissolves in about 700 parts water, in about 7 volumes of 60% alcohol: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
SOL IN ETHER, CHLOROFORM; INSOL IN PETROLEUM ETHER: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform, oils: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
SOLUBILITY: 1:5 IN 60%, 1:25 IN 50%, 1:2.5 IN 70% ALC: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
In water, 1.42X10+3 mg/L at 25 °C: 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 = 1.90: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

Odour

2 records, each a different case

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

PUNGENT, SPICY NOTE: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Strong odor of cinnamon: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

These are the public records read for Cinnamaldehyde, 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.
