Any other information on results incl. tables

Thermal sensitivity

No explosion of the test substance was observed in the six tests.

Shock mechanical sensitivity

No explosion of the test substance was observed in the six tests and in none of the tests the cylinder had burst open spontaneously.The mass of the fall hammer formed a dark yellow pellet of the test substance.

 

Friction mechanical sensitivity

No explosion of the test substance was observed in the six tests. The colour of the test substance changed into dark yellow.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No explosions of Custom Yellow #2 were observed in the thermal, shock or friction sensitivity test. Based on this, the test substance was not considered to present a danger of explosion.
