Description of key information

Appearance / physical state / colour:

The physical appearance of Isoborneol was observed to be white crystalline solid powder compound with camphor odor.

Melting point/ Freezing point:

The melting point of Isoborneol was determined to be 212 °C.

Boiling point:

The boiling point of Isoborneol was determined to be 212 °C.

Density:

The density of chemical  Isoborneol was estimated to be 0.992 ± 0.06 g/cm3 at 20 °C.

Particle size distribution (Granulometry):

The particle size distribution of Isoborneol was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 147 micron to 52 micron.

Vapour pressure:

The vapour pressure of Isoborneol was estimated to be 4.706 Pa at 25 °C.

Partition coefficient:

The octanol water partition coefiicient i.e., log Pow of test chemical 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol was determined to be 2.32. On the basis of log Pow value test chemical test chemical 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol can be considered as hydrophilic in nature.

Water solubility:

The water solubility of Isoborneol was estimated to be 1190 mg/L at 25 °C.

Surface tension:

Based on the prediction done by ACD labs, the surface tension for chemical  Isoborneol was predicted to be 36.2 ± 3.0 dyne/cm.

Flash point:

The flash point of Isoborneol was determined to be 93 °C.

Autoflammability:

Isoborneol did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that Isoborneol is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

The compound Isoborneol is a flammable solid fallen in category 2 according to GHS criteria.

Explosiveness:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties.

Oxidising properties:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidizing properties and hence the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

Additional information

Appearance / physical state / colour:

Based on available data from handbooks, authoritative databases and publication, the physical appearance of Isoborneol was observed to be white crystalline solid powder compound with camphor odor.

Melting point/ Freezing point:

Based on available data from publications and authoritative databases, the melting point of Isoborneol was determined to be 212 °C.

Other supporting studies from authoritative databases and handbooks also supported the selected key study and exhibited melting point for Isoborneol as 213 °C, 216 °C and 212 -214 °C, much closer to the selected key value.

Boiling point:

Based on available data from reputed publications, the boiling point of Isoborneol was determined to be 212 °C.

Other supporting studies from handbook also supported the selected key study and exhibited the boiling point for Isoborneol as 214 °C, much closer to the selected key value.

Density:

Based on prediction done using ACD/I-Lab 2.0 and Scifinder, the density of chemical Isoborneol was estimated to be 0.992 ± 0.06 g/cm3 at 20 °C.

Particle size distribution (Granulometry):

The particle size distribution of Isoborneol was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 147 micron to 52 micron.

Vapour pressure:

Based on available data from handbook and authoritative databaes, the vapour pressure of Isoborneol was estimated to be 4.706 Pa at 25 °C.

Other supporting studies from authoritative database, estimsted vapour pressure of Isoborneol as 3.9996 Pa, closer to the selected key value.

Partition coefficient:

The octanol water partition coefiicient i.e., log Pow of test chemical 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol was determined to be 2.32. On the basis of log Pow value test chemical test chemical 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol can be considered as hydrophilic in nature.

Water solubility:

Based on available data from handbook and authoritative database, the water solubility of Isoborneol was estimated to be 1190 mg/L at 25 °C.

Other supporting study from publications and authoritative database, also supported the selected key study and exhibited water solubility for Isoborneol as 1186 mg/L at 25 °C, very much closer to the selected key value.

Hence, based on these estimated values the compound Isoborneol was considered to be soluble in water.

Surface tension:

Based on the prediction done by ACD labs Software (v12.1.0.50375), the surface tension for chemical Isoborneol was predicted to be 36.2 ± 3.0 dyne/cm.

Flash point:

Based on available data from authoritative database, the flash point of Isoborneol was determined to be 93 °C.

Other supporting studies from publications, exhibited the flash point of Isoborneol as 93.3333 °C, very much closer to the seclected key value.

Hence, the substance Isoborneol was determined to be a Flammable solid, fall under category 2 according to CLP criteria (ECHA)

Autoflammability:

Isoborneol did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that Isoborneol is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

Based on available data from authoritative database, concluded the compound Isoborneol is a flammable solid fallen in category 2 according to GHS criteria.

Explosiveness:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties.
