Any other information on results incl. tables

This substance is void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties, such as metal peroxides, peroxo-acid-anions, azides, and halogen oxides. Further, it is noted that despite long-term industrial use of the substance, it is not classified for explosive properties according to UN transport regulations (in accordance with section 1, Annex XI of the Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH).

Furthermore, a differential scanning calorimetric analysis (DSC, OECD 113) under nitrogen was conducted for this substance, which can be used as a screening for the determination of explosive properties. This DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible showed neither endothermic nor exothermal effects in the temperature range 25 – 500 °C. Since the decomposition energy is below 500 J/g a main test for explosive properties is unnecessary (Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods / Manual of Tests and Criteria (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.3), page 398)(cf. Annex VII section 7.11 Column 2 of regulation 1907/2006).
