Description of key information

Weight of evidence: Individual melting point of the main components are available from peer reviewed handbooks and EpiSuite calculation. Most of the components are liquids at room temperature with melting points lower than -20ºC. The melting point of the test substance has been determined to be -29.5ºC which corresponds with the highest melting point of the major liquid components of the test substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-29.5 °C

Additional information

Weight of evidence: Individual melting point of the main components are available from peer reviewed handbooks and EpiSuite calculation:

Terpinolene: EPI-Suite, MPBPWIN v1.43. The melting point is -29.5ºC.

Camphene: Sax’s Handbook peer reviewed. The melting point is 50-51ºC; Brandes Handbook peer reviewed. The melting point is 45-48ºC.

L-limonene: EPI-Suite, MPBPWIN v1.43. The melting point is -40.76ºC.

D-Limonene: CRC Handbook peer reviewed. The melting point is -74.0ºC.

Alpha terpinene: Yaws Handbook peer reviewed. The melting point is -59.03 ºC.

Alpha pinene: CRC Handbook peer reviewed. The melting point is -74.0ºC.
