Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other: Different Scanning Calorimetry
Remarks:
Suitable technique for measuring the exothermic decomposition energy as required for screening potential explosive or self-reactive substances
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The heat of decomposition was 90 J/g according to the DSC method. This is below the threshold value of 500 J/g, in which case no further testing will be required to establish the explosive properties of the test substance.
Executive summary:

The explosive properties of the test substance were studied under GLP in accordance with UN Test Series 2 in a screening procedure applying differential scanning calorimetry following Appendix 6 of the UN Test Manual. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive. The heat of decomposition was 90 J/g according to the DSC method. This is below the threshold value of 500 J/g, in which case no further testing will be required to establish the explosive properties of the test substance. Consequently, the classification scheme need not be applied if the heat of decomposition is less than 500 J/g.

Conclusions:
The heat of decomposition was 90 J/g according to the DSC method. This is below the threshold value of 300 J/g, in which case no further testing will be required to establish the self-reaction properties of the test substance.
Executive summary:

The self-reaction properties of the test substance were studied under GLP in accordance with UN Test Series 2 in a screening procedure applying differential scanning calorimetry following Appendix 6 of the UN Test Manual. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive. The heat of decomposition was 90 J/g according to the DSC method. This is below the threshold value of 300 J/g, in which case no further testing will be required to establish the self-reaction properties of the test substance. Consequently, the classification scheme need not be applied if the heat of decomposition is less than 300 J/g.

Description of key information

In a valid, reliable and conclusive study according to UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I, the heat of decomposition, as determined with an appropriate DSC method, was 90 J/g.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The heat of decomposition, as determined with an appropriate DSC method in accordance with the UN Test Series 2, was 90 J/g. This value is clearly below the cut-off values for self-reaction (300 J/g) and explosive properties (500 J/g). The substance does not fulfil the criteria for classification und the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
