Health Hazard
Ingestion causes mild irritation of stomach. Contact with liquid causes mild irritation of eyes. Skin is mildly irritated with prolonged contact. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Salts, basic, such as DODECYL SULFATE, [MAGNESIUM SALT], are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.
