Description of key information

The HYDROTOPES Category comprises the following 6 substances:
STS - Sodium toluene 4-sulphonate (CAS 657-84-1, EC 211-522-5)
SXS - Sodium (xylenes and 4-ethylbenzene) sulphonate (EC 701-037-1)
NH4XS - Ammonium (xylenes and 4-ethylbenzene) sulphonate (EC 943-024-5)
SCS - Sodium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 15763-76-5, EC 239-854-6)
KCS - Potassium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 164524-02-1, EC 629-764-9)
NH4CS - Ammonium p-cumenesulphonate (CAS 680972-33-2, EC 811-484-5) 


All the category members except NH4XS were tested for auto-flammability and the values are:


STS > 140 °C


SXS = 320.9 °C
SCS > 400 °C
KCS > 400 °C
NH4CS = 393 °C


All the susbances of the Hydrotropes category showed high auto-ignition temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
