Description of key information
The test item EKALAND MITC W (methyl isothiocyanate) was not considered to have explosive properties in our experimental conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
In 2010, the explosiveness of EKALAND MITC W (methyl isothiocyanate) in compliance with Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 EC A14 method (2008) was conducted on behalf of MLPC in 2010. The following results are found:
Mechanical sensitivity (shock)
Six negative assays were recorded: No mechanical sensitivity was noted with the test item.
Heat sensitivity (flame test)
Six negative assays were recorded with a tube of 2-mm diameter and with a tube of 6-mm diameter: No heat sensitivity was noted with the test item.
Friction
As the test item has a melting point in the range 30 -35°C, the friction test was not carried out.
The test item was not considered to have explosive properties in our experimental conditions.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the measure of explosiveness made in compliance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 EC A14 method (2008) was conducted on behalf of MLPC in 2010, MITC (methyl isothiocyanate) is not considered to have explosive properties in our experimental conditions.
