Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results

An examination of the structure of test material reveals that there are no chemical groups present that would imply explosive properties. The substance does not contain oxygen; therefore an oxygen balance calculation is not possible or required.

Table 1 – Chemical Groups Associated with Explosive Properties

Acetylenic compounds, Metal Acetylides, Haloacetylene derivatives

Diazo compounds

Nitroso and Nitro compounds

Acyl or Alkyl Nitrites and Nitrates

1,2-Epoxides

Metal Fulminates oraci-Nitro salts

N-Metal derivatives (especially heavy metals)

N-Nitroso and N-Nitro compounds

N-Azolium Nitroimidates

Azo compounds

Triazenes

High-nitrogen compounds e.g. Triazoles, Tetrazoles

Alkyl hydroperoxides (R’ = H), Peroxides (R’ = organic

Peroxo acids (R’ = H), Peroxyesters (R’ = organic)

Metal peroxides

Peroxoacids salts

Azides

Arenediazonium oxides

Diazonium sulphides and derivatives

Arenediazo aryl sulfides

Halogen oxide (e.g. perchlorate, bromates etc.)

N-halogen compounds

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A review of the structure of the test material suggests that there are no chemical groups present that would imply explosive properties and no further testing is required.
Executive summary:

A structural examination was performed for the test material, in order to assess the requirement for further testing of the explosive potential of the compound, in accordance with the ‘Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance’.

A review of the structure of the test material suggests that there are no chemical groups present that would imply explosive properties and no further testing is required.

Description of key information

An expert report (Carling & Liney, 2012) based on a structural evaluation of the test material has been provided as the key study. The report concludes that the test material does not contain explosive properties and thus further testing is not required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

A structural examination was performed for the test material, in order to assess the requirement for further testing of the explosive potential of the compound, in accordance with the ‘Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment – Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance’.

A review of the structure of the test material suggests that there are no chemical groups present that would imply explosive properties and no further testing is required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The structural evaluation indicates that the test material is not explosive and therefore does not require classification under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
