Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosiveness, other
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- June 1996
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- Test methods are described in a separate document.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test methods are described in another document. This does not impair the conclusion of the test results. The thermal sensitivity is not investigated within this study. The principles of the test methods including their deviations to the guideline are described in detail in the field "any other information on materials and methods".
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to friction than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive (not specified)
- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- with respect to mechanical sensivity (shock)
- Interpretation of results:
- non explosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- 4-tert-Butylbenzonitrile is not sensitive to shock (mechanical sensitivity).
- Executive summary:
The study investigates the mechanical sensitivity of 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitrile (the sensitivity to shock).
The test method is very similar to those of guideline A.14 and is described in another document. This fact does not impair the conclusion of the negative test result. 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitril is not sensitive to shock. The thermal sensitivity was not investigated within this study.
Reference
Tests regarding the mechanical sensitivity (shock) was negativ. 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitrile was found to be not sensitive to shock.
Description of key information
4-tert-Butylbenzonitrile is not sensitive to shock (mechanical sensitivity).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
A investigates the mechanical sensitivity of 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitrile (the sensitivity to shock).
The test method is very similar to those of guideline A.14 and is described in another document. This fact does not impair the conclusion of the negative test result. 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitril is not sensitive to shock. The thermal sensitivity was not investigated within this study.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to these findings 4 -tert-Butylbenzonitrile is considered to be not an explosive and does not have to be classified.
