Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Summary of method and results available.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance was tested for thermal and mechanical sensitivity. Thermal sensitivity was evaluated by heating the test substance contained in a steel tube of 25 (diameter) x 0.5 x 75 mm, with a nozzle opening of:

1.0 mm for 35 s
2.0 mm for 35 s
3.0 mm for 40 s

Mechanical sensitivity was evaluated following friction with raw spheroid porcelain pans (10 mm diameter) or impacting with a hammer with an energy of 40 or 100 J.
GLP compliance:
no
Parameter:
other: Explosive (not specified)
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)

Thermal sensitivity:

nozzle opening 1.0 mm for 35 s: no explosion

nozzle opening 2.0 mm for 35 s: no explosion

nozzle opening 3.0 mm for 40 s: no explosion

Mechanical sensitivity:

Friction: no explosion at a charge of 360 N

Impact: no explosion at either 40 or 100 J

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was found to be non-explosive.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the explosiveness of the test substance according to internal standard operating procedure. The test substance was tested for thermal and mechanical sensitivity. Thermal sensitivity was evaluated by heating the test substance contained in a steel tube of 25 (diameter) x 0.5 x 75 mm, with a nozzle opening of: 1.0 mm for 35 s, 2.0 mm for 35 s or 3.0 mm for 40 s. Mechanical sensitivity was evaluated following friction with raw spheroid porcelan pens (10 mm diameter) or impacting with a hammer with an energy of 40 or 100 J. Under the study conditions, the test substance was found to be non-explosive (Krings, 1986).

Description of key information

The explosiveness was determined according to internal standard operating procedures (Krings, 1986).
