General Description

Clear to pale-yellow liquid with a mild odor. May float or sink and mix with water.

Air & Water Reactions

Soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Acidic organic salts, such as DODECYL SULFATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard

Ingestion causes mild irritation of stomach. Liquid irritates eyes and causes some corneal damage after prolonged contact. Prolonged contact with skin causes mild irritation.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic vapors of diethanolamine and oxides nitrogen may form in fires.
