ALUMINUM RESINATE

Chemical Properties

Brown solid. Insoluble in water; soluble in oils.

Uses

Drier for varnishes.

General Description

A brown solid. An aluminum salt of mixed resin acids, such as abietic acid and pimaric acid. Insoluble in water and denser than water. Contact irritates skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Use as a drier for varnishes.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Can spontaneously heat in the presence of air and moisture; this heat may suffice to ignite surrounding combustible materials.

Reactivity Profile

ALUMINUM RESINATE reacts with oxidizing agents to generate heat and products that may be flammable, combustible, or otherwise reactive. Reactions with oxidizing agents may be violent.

Hazard

Flammable, dangerous fire risk.

Health Hazard

Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames. Some may burn rapidly with flare burning effect. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Substance may be transported in a molten form at a temperature that may be above its flash point. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
