Product Form
Mixture

The product appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a density of 1.012 g/mL. It has a boiling point of approximately 100 °C, consistent with its aqueous nature. The solution is miscible with water, and its pH is typically around 12, indicating its strong basicity. The flash point is not applicable due to the aqueous nature of the solution, and it does not have significant volatility under standard conditions. The solution is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong acids and oxidizing agents to prevent any adverse reactions.
