  • Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents like ethanol, diethyl ether, and chloroform

Chemical Properties

• Stability: Stable at room temperature; avoid contact with strong oxidants and acids.
• Reactivity:
  • Undergoes esterification, etherification, and sulfonation, serving as a key intermediate for surfactants.
  • Reacts with sulfuric acid to form lauryl sulfate, which can be neutralized to produce sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, a common detergent component).

Applications

1. Surfactant Synthesis:
   • Used to produce anionic surfactants (e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) and non-ionic surfactants (e.g., lauryl alcohol ethoxylates) for detergents, shampoos, and body washes.
2. Cosmetics & Personal Care:
   • Functions as an emulsifier, thickener, and humectant in lotions, creams, lip balms, etc., improving product texture and stability.
3. Industrial & Chemical Sectors:
   • Used in lubricants, plasticizers, textile auxiliaries, and pesticide emulsifiers.
   • Serves as an intermediate for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, fragrances (e.g., lauryl esters), and other organic compounds.
4. Other Uses:
   • As a drilling fluid additive in the oil industry; as a lubricant and release agent in plastic processing.

Safety and Storage

• Toxicity:
  • Low toxicity; oral LD50 in rats is approximately 4000 mg/kg. Mildly irritating to skin and eyes.
• Safety Labels:
  • GHS hazard category: Skin/eye irritant.
  • Precautionary statements: Avoid skin and eye contact; wear protective gloves and goggles during handling.
• Storage Conditions:
  • Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse, away from ignition sources and oxidants. Seal containers to prevent moisture absorption.
