Thermalstability

One DSC-measurement with the test item in a closed glass crucible in a closed high pressure crucible was performed. An endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 50 °C to 90 °C and a broad exothermic effect in the temperature range of 285 °C to 475 °C. Because of the irregular shape of the baseline an additional DSC-measurement was performed. The additional DSC-measurement with the test item in a closed glass crucible showed a small exothermic effect in the temperature range of 140 °C to 205 °C and a broad exothermic effect in the temperature of 320 °C to 495 °C with an overall energy release of 366 J/g. The observed endothermic effect in the temperature range of 40 °C to 70 °c corresponds to the melting of the test item. Thus no exothermic decomposition with more than 500 J/g below 500 °C was detected.

Explosive properties

The heat of decomposition in the DCS measurments was below 500 J/g. Therefore, the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is not an explosive.
Executive summary:

The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 44012008, Method 4.14.

Description of key information
