Density
The density of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate by the mass by volume method was found to be 1.022 g/cm3 at room temperature of 39 °C .This value when converted at 20 degC is equivalent to 1.99 g/cm3.
Particle size distribution (Granulometry)
Granulometry (particle size distribution) is a property that is relevant only to solids. Since sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate is a liquid substance this testing was not scientifically possible and hence this end point was considered for waiver.
Vapour pressure
Vapour pressure of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was estimated to be 0.000000000133 Pa at 25°C.
Partition coefficient
The experimental value of octanol water partition co-efficient (log Pow) of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate is -0.6020 at temperature 39 degC and pH of 6.96.This value indicates that the substance is hydrophilic in nature.
Water solubility
The experimental value of the water solubility of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to be 1000000 mg/L at temperature of 39 degC indicating that solubility of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate is very soluble in water.
Solubility in organic solvents / fat solubility
Gravimetric method was used to determine the solubility of the substance in organic solvent. The experimental value of solubility of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate in methanol at temperature of 39 degC was found to be 20000 mg/L indicating that sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate is very soluble in methanol.Using the Soxhlet/Solvent extraction method the solubility of the substance in Petroleum ether is observed to be 4000 mg/L at 39°C, indicating that the substance is soluble in petroleum ether.
The solubility value of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate in methanol at 20 degC is equivalent to a value of 39000mg/L.
Surface tension
From QSAR prediction for surface tension of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was estimated to be 49.414mN/m at 20 deg.C
Flash point
The experimental value of flash point of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate by the open cup method was found to be 104 deg C at 920 hPa.This value when converted at 101325 Pa is equivalent to 114.54 degC.
Auto flammability
Sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 39 deg C and atmospheric pressure of 920 hPa. This indicates that sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate is not auto-flammable.
Flammability
From the experimental values of flammability, sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate ignited when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of 950 degC was brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate is flammable only at high temperature of about 950 degC. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
Explosiveness
According to theoretical considerations based on chemical structure, sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate does not possess explosive properties. The reason for this is there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties in sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy)ethyl sulphate. Thus, as per column 2 of Annex VII this end point was considered for waiver.
Oxidising properties
Sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to have mild oxidising property since 59.34 ml of KMnO4 was required for getting the end point of the redox titration for 100 g of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate.This oxidation potential was not considered strong enough for for classifying the chemical as an oxidising liquid.Thus, the chemical is considered as non-oxidising for the purpose of chemical safety report and classification.
Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products
Sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to be stable in organic solvent dichloro methane and no degradation products were formed after 24 hours as evident from the GC-MS chromatogram obtained at 0 hours and that obtained after 24 hours.
pH
1% by volume solution of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to exhibit a pH of 6.47 at 26 degC. Thus 1% by volume solution of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to be near neutral in nature.
Dissociation constant
The experimental pKa value for sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate was found to be 0.0000000000000000043,at 39 degC indicating that it has dissociation properties.This pka value when converted at 20 degC is equivalent to 0.0000000000000000022051.
Viscosity
Viscosity of sodium 2-(2-dodecyloxyethoxy) ethyl sulphate at temperature of 39 deg C was found to be 182.78 mPa s.This value when converted at 20 degC is equivalent to 356.421 mPas.
