General Description
A white to light yellow granular solid. The primary hazard is to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Used as a detergent.

The Hazard fields include special hazard alerts air and water reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and details about reactive groups assignments and potentially incompatible absorbents. The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
The granular solid is water soluble.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Has a drying effect on skin; prolonged contact may cause irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Reacts as a base to neutralize acids. These reactions 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. Usually does not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is possible.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents

First Aid
INGESTION: give large amount of water; do NOT induce vomiting.

EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.

SKIN: wipe off, flush with water. (USCG, 1999)

The Physical Property fields include properties such as vapor pressure and boiling point, as well as explosive limits and toxic exposure thresholds The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.

Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
