- Additional information on results:
- No mutagenic activity of Isobutyl Alcohol detected.Isobutyl Alcohol is both reagents used in the manufacture, as well as decomposition products of Sodium isobutyl xanthate. Therefore, the health effects of Isobutyl Alcohol need to be considered in the assessment of sodium isobutyl xanthate. In addition, xanthates decompose on aging to form a number of byproducts, depending on the pH, temperature, etc. Risks associated with xanthate are, therefore, a function of the breakdown of the product or un-reacted raw materials remaining in the product.
