Test of Thermal Sensitivity: No explosions were observed for the test substance for tests conducted with either the

6-mm or 2-mm diameter orifice plates.

Test of Mechanical Sensitivity with Respect to Shock: No positive results were obtained for the test substance in 21 successive drop impact tests conducted at 48 Joules (3.5 kg at 1.40 m).

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was not found to be sensitive to thermal, friction, or impact stimuli.

Description of key information

The test substance was not found to be sensitive to thermal, friction, or impact stimuli.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive
