Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-Guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
As a screening method for the determination of explosive properties a differential scanning
caiorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen was performed.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Parameter:
other: Screening using DSC under nitrogen
Remarks on result:
other: decomposition energy < 500 J/g

Thermal Stability

The DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed an endothermic effect (melting) in the temperature range 150 - 195 °C and three exothermal effects in the temperature range 240 - 430 °C with an overall energy of 368 J/g or 372 J/g, respectively.

Explosive Properties

The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Due to this fact the test on explosion properties was not necessary.

The test item has no danger of explosion according to the explosive properties in the sense of the consolidated version of Council Directive 67/548/EEC Annex V, A. 14 (Council Directive 92/69/EEC).

Interpretation of results:
non explosive

Description of key information

non explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The exothermic decomposition energy was found to be 368-372 J/g thus being below the UN limit of 500 J/g.

(A.14.; Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC))

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, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g.
