Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
15 Sep 2017 - 15 Sep 2017
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 830.6316 (Explodability)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Method:
other: For thermal explodability (DTA/DSC)
Parameter:
other: Mean Onset Exothermic Decomposition Teperature
Remarks:

Result:
positive, explosion

The test item when heated from 30 ± 1 °C to 430°C at 10°C/minute in the presence of nitrogen in three replications had one exothermic peak, the mean onset temperature (°C), mean peak temperature (°C), mean peak area (mJ) and the mean H (enthalpy) J/g recorded is provided below:

 

 Peak No.  Mean Onset Temperature (°C)  Mean Peak Temperature (°C)  Mean Peak Area (mJ)  Mean H (enthalpy) J/g
1  172.184  176.927  -2281.748  -715.003
Conclusions:
According to the definition established in the test guideline 2-(Allyloxymethyl) acrylic acid methyl ester is considered to be explosive, since the onset of exothermic decomposition peak is below 430°C and the exothermic decomposition energy is more than 500 J/g.

Description of key information

The supporting study (Jai 2017_238-2-11-18032) found the mean onset temperature and and mean enthalpy to be 172.184 °C and -715.003 J/g, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Determined not to be explosive on the basis of an assessment of the chemical structure.

Justification for classification or non-classification

2-(Allyloxymethyl) acrylic acid methyl ester was found not to possess explosive properties, and therefore is not classified as explosive.

It is noted that the substance was found to undergo thermal decomposition, however the onset temperature was 172°C; with reference to Annex I section 2.8.2.1 of the CLP Regulation it is concluded that the substance does not meet the criteria as a self-reactive substance.
