| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. A mixture of esters (the glycerides of stearic, palmitic myristic, lauric and oleic acids) and croton resin. Toxic and a strong skin irritant. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
OILS, MISCELLANEOUS: CROTON react with acids to liberate heat. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. | [Fire Hazard]
CROTON OIL is probably combustible. | [Hazard]
Strong skin irritant, ingestion of small
amounts may be fatal. | [Chemical Properties]
Brownish-yellow liquid. Soluble in
ether, chloroform, and fixed or volatile oils; slightly
soluble in alcohol. | [Definition]
Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. Croton tiglium, Euphorbiaceae. |
