Ammonium dodecylbenzenesulphonate

Auto flammability

Administrative data

Endpoint:

auto-ignition temperature (liquids)

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid non flammable in air, e.g. no flash point up to 200°C

other:

Justification for type of information:

The substance is not possible to isolate from water.
Attempts to dry led to apparent decomposition with release of ammonia / amines at < 100 C (before boiling). there was no indication of exotherm.

Cross-reference

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Reference

Endpoint:

appearance / physical state / colour

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail

GLP compliance:

no

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Liquid form used for assessment
No method found to remove water without decomposition and loss of ammonia

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:

liquid

Form:

liquid: viscous

Colour:

Pale coloured viscous liquid

Substance type:

organic

Note that this material contains water.

It is very likely solid if water could be removed.

At the time of dossier preparation, no suitable method had been found that allowed removal of water without decomposition.

Conclusions:

Note that this material contains water.
It is very likely solid if water could be removed.
At the time of dossier preparation, no suitable method had been found that allowed removal of water without decomposition.
