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):

Thanks a lot Tom!
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
