Description of key information

The boiling point of MYRCENE was obtained from different literature sources and is stated as 116-171.5°C 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
116 °C

Additional information

Most of data on the boiling point of MYRCENE came from Handbooks. One measurement was obtained from experimental studies and was in the same range as the values given in the Handbooks. Therefore a range of value is proposed as a Weight of Evidence approach.
