| Appearance: | white to slightly yellow powder | Density: | 1.799 g/cm3 |
| Melting Point: | 220 °C | Boiling Point: | 235 °C |
| Flash Point: | 238.2ºC | Refractive Index: | 105.5 ° (C=10, H2O) |
| Water Solubility: | H2O: 620 g/L (20 ºC) | Storage Conditions: | Store at RT. |
| Vapor Pressure: | 1.62E-14mmHg at 25°C | Flammability characteristics: | Flammable; burning produces toxic sodium oxide fumes |
| Specific rotation: | 104 º (c=1, H2O 25 ºC) | Odor: | Odorless |
| PH: | Between 6,5 and 8,0 (10 % aqueous solution) | Air and Water Reactions: | Water soluble. Aqueous solutions are subject to quick air oxidation at pH greater than 6.0. |
| Reactive Group: | Alcohols and Polyols | Reactivity Profile: | A weak base. Materials in this group are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH’s greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations 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. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. |
