| Flash Point: | 235.6±24.7 °C | Refractive Index: | 1.488 |
| Water Solubility: | <0.1 g/100 mL at 17 ºC | Storage Conditions: | 2-8ºC |
| Air and Water Reactions: | This chemical may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light and air. (NTP, 1992). Insoluble in water. | Reactive Group: | Esters, Sulfate Esters, Phosphate Esters, Thiophosphate Esters, and Borate Esters |
| Reactivity Profile: | An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. |
