Structure
Properties
Appearance (1), solid; (2), liquid.
Solubility soluble in water.
Stability stable in weak acid, hard water. Under strong acid or strong alkali, easily hydrolyze. Under alkaline conditions, ammonia is released.
Risk Solid form: flammable material; irritation, low irritation to skin, eye. Harmful products of combustion are CO, CO2 and so on. Contact with strong oxidants, can cause to burn.
GHS (Rev.10) label: 
Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent wetting, permeating, emulsifying, dispersing, cleansing, foaming, solubilizing abilities. Good lime soap dispersing power. Suitable for neutral formula system.
Synthesis
(1), Esterification reaction
