Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The oxygen balance is calculated from the empirical formula of a compound in percentage of oxygen required for complete conversion
of carbon to carbon dioxide, hydrogen to water, and metal to metal oxide.
When using oxygen balance to predict properties of one explosive relative to another, it is to be expected that one with an oxygen
balance closer to zero will be potentially explosive; however, many exceptions to this rule do exist. Consideration of potentially
explosive groups therefore also needs to be undertaken. - GLP compliance:
- no

Based on structural group evaluation, the substance is not potentially explosive.
Oxygen Balance (OB) Calculator:
OB% = -1600 x (2X + (Y/2) + M-Z) / Mol.wt of substance avec X = number of atoms of carbon, Y = number of atoms of hydrogen, Z = number of atoms of oxygen, and M = number of atoms of metal (metallic oxide produced).
Substance Molecular Weight = 169.2256
Oxygen Balance (%) = -278.92
Potentially Explosive based on OB (< - 200%)? NO
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
