| Physical Description |
Camphene appears as a colorless to white crystalline solid with an insipid camphor-like odor. Dust and crystals are irritants to the eyes, nose and throat. Emits flammable vapors when heated. Emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes at high temperature. Used for the manufacture of synthetic camphor. |
