Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Laurel leaf oil is a clear, slightly viscous liquid at ambient temperature, with colour varying from pale yellow to yellow; it doesn't undergo freezing down to -20°C, and distillates between ca 150 and 185°C. It is expected to float over water, because of its low relative density (0.91), and slight to moderate solubility of its components (5 to 3500 mg/L). The major components exhibit only low volatility (up to ca 370 Pa) but potential for bioaccumulation (log K > 4). Surface-active properties are anticipated; therefore relevance of water solubility and log K should raise concerns.
Based on its flash point of ca 50°C, Laurel leaf 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 Laurel leaf 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.
