Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Thermal sensitivity:

Test substance in six sheet steel tubes, closed by plates with a central hole of 2 or 6 mm, was exposed to intense heat for 5 minutes. None of the tests resulted in a vigorous reaction or explosion. None of the tubes showed a deformation or had burst into fragments.

Shock mechanical sensitivity:

The mass of the fall hammer formed a dark orange pellet of the test substance. No vigorous reactions, nor any traces thereof were observed in any of the six tests and in none of the tests the cylinder had burst open spontaneously.

Friction mechanical sensitivity:

The test substance was exposed to the friction between a porcelain peg (loaded to 360 N) and a porcelain plate. In none of the six tests, the generation of fire, smoke, crepitation or other indications of vigorous reactions were observed. The colour of the test substance changed into dark orange (original colour: red). The change of colour may be an indication of reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance.
