Solubility: It is a hydrophilic solvent that soluble in water.
The commercial product contains a non-volatile oxidation inhibitor.
In case the product is submitted to distillation, its distillate will not contain the inhibitor and will be more subject to the formation of peroxides, thus having the risks of explosion when heated.
