Sodium ricinolate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

White or slightly yellow powder; nearly odorless. Soluble in water or alcohol. Combustible.

Uses

In textile finishing; sometimes added to Turkey red oil, dry-cleaning soaps.

Uses

sodium ricinolate is an emulsifying agent used in certain soaps and medicines. It is a sodium salt of the fatty acids from castor oil.

General Description

White powder.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

An alcohol substituted, unsaturated aliphatic basic organic salt. Aqueous solutions are alkaline. Materials in this group are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Low toxicity.
