Description of key information

The boiling point of cyclohexane is 80.7°C at standard temperature and pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
80.7 °C

Additional information

The CRC Handbook (Lide 2008) is peer reviewed and is considered reliable and suitable for use as a key study for this endpoint. The supporting study (Merck Handbook (O'Neil 2006)) is also a peer reviewed handbook and reports the same value as the key study.

The boiling point of cyclohexane is 80.7°C at standard temperature and pressure. Taken together with the result for flash point of -20°C, this boiling point value would result in a classification of a category 2 flammable liquid with the hazard statement 'highly flammable liquid and vapour'.
