Structure
Main ingredient:
Properties
Appearance (1), solid; (2), yellow liquid.
Solubility soluble in water, soluble in ethanol.
Stability stable.
Risk Solid form: flammable material; irritation, irritation to skin, eye, respiratory system. Harmful products of combustion are CO, CO2 and so on. Contact with strong oxidants, can cause to burn.
GHS label: 
Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent cleansing, emulsifying, dispersing, lubricating, solubilizing, foaming, wetting abilities.
Note (1), Mixture of dehydroabietic acid potassium salt, dihydroabietate acid potassium salt and tetrahydroabietic acid potassium salt, dehydroabietic acid potassium salt is the main component.
(2), The conjugated double bonds in abietic acid potassium salt have a serious inhibitory effect on polymerization. Therefore, when applied to polymerization, the content of abietic acid potassium salt should be strictly controlled, and the content should be below 0.5%.
Synthesis
Obtained that disproportionated rosin reacts with potassium hydroxide.
