Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Additional information
Juniper oil is a clear, colourless to slightly yellow/green liquid at ambient temperature; it doesn't undergo freezing down to -20°C, and distillates from ca 171°C. It is expected to float over water, because of its very low relative density (0.86), and slight solubility (global ca 49 mg/L; major components between 2 and 5.6 mg/L). Some of them may also exhibit moderate volatility (up to ca 630 Pa) and potential for bioaccumulation (log K > 4). No surface-active properties are displayed.
Based on its flash point of ca 38°C, Juniper oil will be classified as a Flammable liquid (cat.3, according to CLP criteria).
It is not regarded as hazardous with regard to other physical hazard classes (explosivity, self-reactive nor oxidising properties).
It should be noted that, as a Natural Complex Substance, the above properties of Juniper oil may exhibit some variations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
