A value with no row here was assembled from more than one record, so no single record is credited for it. The draft you buy carries this table as an appendix covering all 16 sections.

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 Geraniol, and where each one comes from
15 measured values for 7 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.
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
Flash point
2 records, 100 to 108 °C
The lowest temperature at which the liquid gives off enough vapour to ignite. It decides the GHS flammable liquid category.
- 108 °C (226 °F) - closed cup
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- >212 °F (>100 °C) (closed cup)
- 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.
- 0.8894 g/cu cm at 20 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Density: 0.870-0.890 at 15 °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.
- In water, 100 mg/L at 25 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Slightly soluble in water
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Miscible with ether, acetone
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- 1:3 in 70% alcohol
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- For more Solubility (Complete) data for GERANIOL (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page
- 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 = 3.56
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Odour
3 records, each a different case
Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.
- Sweet rose odor
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Pleasant geranium-like odor
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Pleasant, floral odor
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
These are the public records read for Geraniol, 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.
