General Description
Colorless liquid with a faint odor of alcohol. Floats on water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
Low toxicity. Excessive exposure produces some central nervous system depression. Prolonged contact produces skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
PENTADECANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
