EC number: 456-990-3 | CAS number: 244761-29-3 LITHIUM-BIS(OXALATO)BORATE
Explosiveness
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Lithium bis(oxalato)borate is not explosive as organo-lithium compounds are unlikely to have explosive properties and the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200. Moreover, when tested for dust explosiveness according to VDI 2263 (Dust fires and dust explosions; hazards, assessment, protective measures) lithium bis(oxalato)borate did not ignite and did not reveal dust explosiveness under test conditions. Further lithium bis(oxalato)borate does not present a danger of explosion under the test conditions observed in a study according to EU method A.13.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
When tested for dust explosiveness according to VDI 2263 (Dust fires and dust explosions; hazards, assessment, protective measures) lithium bis(oxalato)borate did not ignite and did not reveal dust explosiveness under test conditions. (Siemens, 2008)
In a second study report the explosive properties of lithium bis(oxalato)borate were assessed according to EU method A.14. The test item was tested in two mechanical sensitivity tests (shock and friction), as well as the thermal sensitivity test under the influence of a flame. The sample did not show a danger of explosiveness under the named test conditions. (SRICI, 2010)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on these results of the experimental test and theoretical evaluations, lithium bis(oxalato)borate is not to be classified and labelled according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
