What is AMMONIUM STEARATE?

Chemical properties

cream or light yellow powder

The Uses of AMMONIUM STEARATE

In vanishing creams, in waterproofing cements.

General Description

White to yellow paste or liquid with a weak ammonia odor. May float or sink in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

AMMONIUM STEARATE has weak oxidizing or reducing powers. Redox reactions can however still occur. The majority of compounds in this class are slightly soluble or insoluble in water. If soluble in water, then the solutions are usually neither strongly acidic nor strongly basic. These compounds are not water-reactive.

Hazard

A nuisance dust.

Health Hazard

None experienced under normal conditions of use. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes irritation.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic ammonia and oxides of nitrogen may form in fires.

Safety Profile

A nuisance dust. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic vapors of NH3.
