Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Parameter:
other: Explosive properties
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)

Examination of the structural formula for the sample indicates:

- There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties

- The oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups - it is bound in -OH groups which do not possess explosive behaviour. The oxygen balance is - 242 and below the criteria for consideration (-200).

Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. There are no elements of the screening procedure which begin to suggest that explosive properties may be exhibited by the substance. The conduct of the A14 tests is therefore not considered appropriate.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is concluded not to be explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. In addition, the oxygen is not bound in energetic functional groups.

Description of key information

The test substance was concluded not to have explosive properties following a theoretical assessment in a GLP study according to test method EC A.14 (statement) (Younis, 2011).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance does not need be classified as explosive as based on the chemical structure the substance does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
