The curve displays two exothermic peaks between 307 and 409°C with an energy release of 98 J/g.

Interpretation of results:

non explosive

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The exothermic decomposition energy released is found to be 98 J/g which is far below the critical trigger level of 500 J/g. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

In order to assess if the test item FAT 40865/A TE posseses the potential to rapidly release huge amount of energy, a thermal analysis (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) has been performed. The curve displays two exothermic peaks between 307 and 409°C with an energy release of 98 J/g. The determination of exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated an energy release far below the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Description of key information

Justification for classification or non-classification

FAT 40865/A was assessed to be non-explosive in a screening evaluation, hence it does not require classification according to CLP (Regulation 1272/2008) criteria.
