Stability

• Camphor is chemically stable when stored under normal temperature and pressures.
  
  

Effects of Heating

• Heating can cause camphor to become explosive. It will also form irritating vapors and break down gases of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which is hazardous.
  
  

Solubility

• Camphor has very low solubility in water, about 0.1 to 1 percent.
  
  

Boiling Point

• At 399 degrees F (204 C), camphor sublimes, or vaporizes.
  
  

Melting Point

• Camphor, a crystalline solid, liquefies at 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
