Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble. Gives basic aqueous solution.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of dust causes irritation of nose and throat, coughing, and sneezing. Ingestion causes mild irritation of mouth. Contact with eyes causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Salts, basic, such as OLEIC ACID, [SODIUM 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.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
