Endpoint:

explosive properties of explosives

Type of information:

other: statement

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From June 26, 2008 to August 19, 2008

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: The EU method was followed. Based on the molecular structure a statement rather than a full study was considered sufficient to cover this endpoint.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Key result

Parameter:

other: Explosive (not specified)

Remarks on result:

negative (not further specified)

Using C₂₁H₃₄N₂O₈ as molecular formula and 442.5 g/mol as molecular weight, the oxygen balance for the test substance was calculated to be -184 %. This is > -  200% and therefore within the region where there may be a potential for explosivity. However, there are no plosophores (bond groupings known to give explosive properties) or auxoploses (explosive enhancing groups) present in the structure. The relatively high oxygen balance is considered due to the presence of ester moieties and carbamate groups in the molecule. Overall consideration of the properties does not suggest a risk of explosivity.

Interpretation of results:

non explosive

Conclusions:

Under the study conditions, the test substance is not explosive.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the explosiveness of the test substance according to EU Method A.14. Under the study conditions, the test substance is not explosive (Baltussen, 2008).
