Dopant for conducting polymers strong acid catalyst for amino cross-linked coatings
ChEBI: 2-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid is a member of the class dodecylbenzenesulfonic acids that is benzenesulfonic acid in which the hydrogen at position 2 of the phenyl ring is substituted by a dodecyl group. It has a role as an animal metabolite.
Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is a colorless liquid. Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is soluble in water. Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is corrosive to metals and tissue. Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is used to make detergents.
Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is corrosive. When heated to decomposition or on contact with strong acids produces highly toxic fumes of oxides of sulfur. The toxicity and hazards of individual alkylbenzene sulfonic acids must be assessed individually [Kirk-Othmer, 3rd ed., Vol. 22, 1978, p. 45].
EYES AND SKIN: A 0.5% to 1% concentration in water caused significant irritation. The technical grade is corrosive and may cause irreversible damage to eyes and skin. INGESTION: Irritation of the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Diarrhea, intestinal distention and occasional vomiting.
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: May give off SO 3 , SO 2 and H 2 S
