Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Due to the high decomposition energy which was found in the DSC measurements in closed crucibles of 500 J/g, the main test on explosion properties was performed.

 

Mechanical sensitivity (friction):

No explosion within 6 tests using a pinload with 360 N, only a discoloration of the test item was observed.

 

Mechanical Sensitivity (Shock):

No explosion 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 following table gives the results of the thermal stability.

 

Test no.

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.

 

Final results

The test item Triafamone (AE 1887196), pure substance has no explosive properties under the test conditions in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14. and in the sense of the US EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP

830.6316.

Description of key information

Pure grade and technical grade: non explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The explosivity of the substance was determined according to EU Method A.14.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on explosive properties of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: No explosive properties in a test according to EU Method A.14.
