Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
This endpoint is waived in accordance with Column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH Regulation as there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Xanthates does not contain groups that are know to contribute to explosive properties, shown in Table R.7.1-28 (ECHA , Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment. Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, May 2008)
The dry powder of xanthates can form explosive dust-air mixture.
Solid xanthates on contact with moisture or heated above 1500C release extremely flammable carbon disulfide
(2011,CCOHS, CHEMINFO, sodium ethyl xanthate, http://ccinfoweb2.ccohs.ca/cheminfo)
For carbon disulfide: – lower explosive limit in air 1,3 vol.%,
upper explosive limit in air 50,0 vol.%.

Justification for classification or non-classification
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
