- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was the determination of the explosive properties of the test item according to the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V (Council Directive 92/69/EEC), Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.14. Explosive properties. The study was performed in accordance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and reported with a valid GLP certificate.
As a screening method for the determination of explosive properties a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen was performed.
The method provides a scheme of testing to determine whether or not a solid, a liquid or a pasty substance or preparation presents a danger of explosion when submitted to the effect of a flame (thermal sensitivity) or to impact or friction (sensitivity to mechanical stimuli).
The method comprises three parts:
a) a test of thermal sensitivity;
b) a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to shock;
c) a test of mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction.
The heat of decomposition was above 500 J/g. Therefore the main test on explosion properties was performed.
Mechanical sensitivity (friction): No explosion within 6 tests using a pinload with 360 N was observed.
Mechanical Sensitivity (Shock): No explosion, only a decomposition (changing of the colour) within 6 tests using a mass of 10 kg falling from a height 0.4 m was observed.
Thermal Sensitivity: Three tests were performed with a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter.
The test on thermal sensitivity carried out with a nozzle with a diameter of 2.0 mm showed no explosion. Compared to the nozzle with a diameter of 6.0 mm the venting area of the nozzle with 2.0 mm is smaller by an order of magnitude. Additionally the physical state of the test item excludes the enrichment of high-energy components caused by evaporation of volatile solvents. Due to these facts an explosion with a nozzle width of 6.0 mm is excluded.
The test item has no explosive properties according to the explosive properties in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V (Council Directive 92/69/EEC), Method A.14.
