General Description
White to yellow paste or liquid with a weak ammonia odor. May float or sink in water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly soluble in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic ammonia and oxides of nitrogen may form in fires. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
None experienced under normal conditions of use. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
AMMONIUM STEARATE has weak oxidizing or reducing powers. Redox reactions can however still occur. The majority of compounds in this class are slightly soluble or insoluble in water. If soluble in water, then the solutions are usually neither strongly acidic nor strongly basic. These compounds are not water-reactive.
