General Description
Light yellow liquid. May float or sink and mix with water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen and sulfur may form in fires. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Contact with liquid irritates eyes and may have drying effect on the skin. Prolonged contact will cause skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Acidic inorganic salts, such as AMMONIUM LAURYL 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.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
- Esters, Sulfate Esters, Phosphate Esters, Thiophosphate Esters, and Borate Esters
- Hydrocarbons, Aliphatic Unsaturated
- Salts, Acidic
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents
