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 Eugenol, and where each one comes from
9 measured values for 8 properties, read from 1 public database. Every record agrees. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
- -9.2 to -9.1 °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.
- >212 °F (>100 °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.
- 0.0221 mm Hg at 25 °C
- 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.
- 1.0652 g/cu cm at 20 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Solubility
1 record
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- In water, 2460 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 = 2.49
- 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.
- 7.817 centipoise at 20 °C
- 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.
- Odor of cloves
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Warm, spicy, floral
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
These are the public records read for Eugenol, 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.
