AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the safety and potential bleaching properties of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ylmethanol, specifically its effects on surfaces, fabrics, and skin. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) indicates that the substance may cause eye and respiratory irritation, but there is conflicting information regarding skin irritation, with some sources labeling it as a skin irritant and others not. No definitive mention of bleaching properties was found in the initial research. Users are advised to consult an organic chemist for expert guidance. Additionally, the substance is categorized as a cosmetic agent, with recommendations against its use in fragrances and flavorings.

Hi, is anybody able to tell me if any of the below ingredients contain any bleaching properties to surfaces/fabrics and/or irritable to skin?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4- ylmethanol (>85%)CAS-NO: 100-79-8

EINECS-No. : 202-888-7
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Google for the MSDS.
 
Thanks Borek. I've attached the MSDS but I'm still having trouble working it out. Any assistance please?

I Googled the CAS entry and browsed several hits. Some said skin irritant and some said not a skin irritant. All said eye and respiratory irritant. My quick look did not find mention of bleaching. Suggest you contact an organic chemist.

This site has links to may others and has some info where not to use (cosmetics, flavoring):

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
