Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Decomposition energy is below the limit of 500 kJ/kg given in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, Chapter 2.1.4.3. (c).It can be excluded that the substance has explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
According to the chemical structure and the list of reactive groups that could have explosive properties (Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, Butterworths, 4th edition) it cannot be excluded that monochloramine has explosive properties.
Thus, thermal stability of two monochloramine solutions (at 7.2 g/L and at ca. 31 g/L) was determined by differential thermal analysis Calvet Calorimetry method (performed according to a standardised guideline).
In both studies decomposition energy is below the limit of 500 kJ/kg given in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, Chapter 2.1.4.3. (c). Thus, it can be excluded that the tested substance has explosive properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In both studies, decomposition energy is below the limit of 500 kJ/kg given in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, Chapter 2.1.4.3. (c). Thus, the substance is not classified for explosive properties.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
