General Description
Off-white solid with a sweet petroleum odor. May float or sink and mix with water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
It is soluble in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Ingestion causes mild irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with liquid causes irritation of eyes and (on prolonged contact) mild irritation of skin. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Salts, basic, such as DODECYLBENZENESULFONIC ACID, [ISOPROPYLAMINE 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.
