| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Clear colorless liquid. | [Reactivity Profile]
HEXYL BENZOATE(6789-88-4) is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Fire Hazard]
This chemical is probably combustible. | [Description]
Hexyl benzoate has a woody-green, piney balsamic odor. Hexyl
benzoate may be synthesized by esterification of n-hexanol with
benzoic acid under azeotropic conditions. | [Chemical Properties]
