Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to Reach Annex VII end point 7.11, the study does not need to be conducted if there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. This is the case for GALDEN LMW.
GALDEN LMW belong to the class of perfluoropolyethers, whose the high chemical stability is well known.

Description of key information
GALDEN LMW is not explosive.
GALDEN LMW belong to the class of perfluoropolyethers, whose the high chemical stability is well known. No chemical groups associated with explosive properties are present in the molecule.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
GALDEN LMW is not explosive.
GALDEN LMW belong to the class of perfluoropolyethers, whose high chemical stability is well known. No chemical groups associated with explosive properties are present in the molecule.
Furthermore, the lack of explosivity associated with heating is supported by high thermal stability of GALDEN LMW.
Scientific literature regarding PFPEs class (Sianesi et al, 1994) as well as experimental results on analogue substance H GALDEN support the high thermal stability of GALDEN LMW.
The thermal stability is discussed under section 4.19.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the GALDEN LMW does not meet the classification criteria for Explosiveness.
