Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The structure of the test material was assessed for chemical groups that imply explosive properties. Examples of such groups are C-C unsaturated, C-metal, N-metal, contiguous oxygen atoms, contiguous nitrogen atoms, N-halogens, O-halogens, N-O. Full structural details are given in Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition, Butterworths, London, 1990.

The material does not contain any functional groups, which may indicate explosive properties. Therefore, it can be concluded by expert judgement that this substance is not explosive. The experimental determination according to EU Method A .14 is not necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the chemical structure of the test material the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative.
Executive summary:

The structure of the test material was assessed for chemical groups that imply explosive properties (according to EU method A.14).

Examples of such groups are C-C unsaturated, C-metal, N-metal, contiguous oxygen atoms, contiguous nitrogen atoms, N-halogens, O-halogens, N-O. Full structural details are given in Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition, Butterworths, London, 1990.

Based on the chemical structure of the test material the result for the explosive properties has been predicted negative and therefore, the experimental determination is not necessary.
