Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
Measured values for Sodium lauryl sulfate, and where each one comes from
6 measured values for 4 properties, read from 2 public databases. Every record agrees. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Melting point
1 record
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
Solubility
2 records, each a different case
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- 1 g dissolves in 10 mL water, giving an opalescent solution
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- In water, 1.00X10+5 mg/L (temp not specified)
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Partition coefficient (log Kow)
1 record
Indicates whether the substance accumulates in fat or in water, which drives the environmental sections.
- log Kow = 1.60
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Odour
2 records, each a different case
Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.
- Faint odor of fatty substances
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Slight, characteristic odor
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
These are the public records read for Sodium lauryl sulfate, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
