Melting/Freezing Point: Below -10°C
Boiling Point/Range: Greater than 200°C (decomposes at high temperature)
Flash Point: Around 150°C (Closed cup method—seek manufacturer’s value)
Evaporation Rate: Negligible at ambient temperature
Solubility: Partial in water (dispersible/emulsifiable), soluble in most organic solvents
Density: 0.95–1.02 g/cm³ at 20°C
Viscosity: Moderate to high, depends on temperature
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Greater than zero—suggests some accumulation in biota
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Above 300°C
Chemical Stability: Stable at normal temperatures in sealed containers
Possible Hazardous Reactions: None expected under normal conditions, but reacts with strong oxidizers
Conditions to Avoid: High heat, open flame, incompatible materials
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizers, some reactive metals
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides under fire conditions
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization expected
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin contact, eye contact, ingestion, inhalation of aerosols
Acute Toxicity: Not considered acutely toxic based on available data (LD50 oral >2000 mg/kg in rats)
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Moderate skin irritant with repeated exposure
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation, risk of corneal injury if splashed
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: No evidence of respiratory sensitization, rare cases of skin sensitization
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis or eczema; no firm data showing carcinogenicity or reproductive hazards
Target Organs: Skin, eyes; very high oral doses may impact gastrointestinal tract
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms with potential for long-term effects (LC50 for fish and invertebrates typically in the range of 1–10 mg/L)
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable over weeks under aerobic conditions, slow under anaerobic
Bioaccumulation Potential: Moderate based on partition coefficients, risk increases with repeat exposure
Mobility in Soil: Binds to soil particles; modest risk of leaching
Other Effects: Surfactant action can harm aquatic life by affecting gill function or egg membranes
