Properties

Appearance    (1), paste to solid.

Solubility    slightly soluble to soluble in water.

Stability    stable. Under strong acid condition, easily hydrolyzed.

Risk    Solid form: corrosion; irritation, irritation to skin, eye, respiratory system.

GHS (Rev.10) label:  

Ecology    may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.

Biodegradability    biodegradable.

Characteristics    excellent cleansing, emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, anticorrosive, antirust, lubricating, antistatic, wetting abilities. Performance varies with the number of EO. Resistance to high concentration of alkali. Intolerance to hard water. Resistance to high temperature.

Note    (1), The by-product 1,4-dioxane is a possible carcinogen. Generally, can be acceptable when concentration of 1,4-dioxane is less than 30ppm or less.
