Yellow to brownish ointmentlike mass; ammonia odor. Decomposes on heating. Soluble in water and hot alcohol. Combustible.
Detergent, solidifying alcohol, demonstrating liquid crystals according to Lehmann.
Yellow-brown paste with a weak odor of ammonia. Sinks and mixes with water.
Water soluble. Gives basic solution
Salts, basic, such as AMMONIUM OLEATE, 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.
Emulsifying agent, cosmetics.
Contact with eyes causes irritation. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation.
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire.
