The DSC runs PN14350, PN14357 and PN14423 in a closed glass or gold-plated stainless steel crucible are shown in the table below.

In the measurements using a glass crucible no significant thermal effects could be observed due to the strong noise of the DSC signal. For this reason an additional measurement in a gold plated stainless steel crucible up to a temperature of 500 °C was performed. Starting at a temperature of 350 °C anexothermic effect with a decomposition energy of >-440 J/g was observed. Because of the test end at 500 °C the exothermic effect was not fully recorded and the associated energy release cannot be fully quantified. Because of the shape of the signal an energy release of >-500 J/g has to be assumed.

The results of the DSC-measurements are summarized in Table 1.

Table1:    Results of the DSC-measurements

No.	Crucible material	Sample weight / mg	Start of effect / °C	Energy / J/g
PN14350	Glass	6.66	-	-
PN14357	Glass	7.99	-	-
PN14423	Gold	4.94	350	>-440 (exothermic)

Due to the fact that the decomposition energy is above the threshold of -500 J/g the Koenen- and the Time-Pressure-Test had to be performed.

Three tests with a 1.0 mm diameter orifice plate were performed.

Table2:    Results of the Koenen-Test

No.	Sample weight / g	Diameter orifice plate / mm	Reaction time t1 / s	Reaction time t2 / s	Reaction	Appearance of tube
1	27.52	1		> 300	t1: sparks	Unchanged
2	27.50	1		> 300	t1: sparks	Unchanged
3	27.52	1		> 300	t1: sparks	Unchanged

t1: time to first reaction: sparks
t2: time to main reaction: no reaction

Due to the fact that the test series with a1.0 mm diameter orifice plate showed no explosionthe UN-Transport Regulation Test 1(b) and Test 2(b) deemed to be “–“.

Table3 summarizes the results of the three tests.

Table3:    Results of the Time-Pressure-Test

	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3
Time [s] at 690 kPa	Not reached	Not reached	Not reached
Time [s] at 2,070 kPa	Not reached	Not reached	Not reached
Time for pressure rise [s]	-/-	-/-	-/-

Due to the fact that the test item did not reach a pressure of 2070 kPa,the UN-Transport Regulation Test 1(c) and 2(c) deemed to be “-“.

Interpretation of results:

other: non-explosive

Conclusions:

In the DSC-measurement the energy of the exothermic decomposition of the test item was potentially above the threshold of -500 J/g. Therefore, further tests for explosive properties had to be performed.

In the test on explosive properties according to UN Transport Regulation, Test series 1 and 2, the test item showed no explosive properties.

Executive summary:

In the DSC-measurement the energy of the exothermic decomposition of the test item was potentially above the threshold of -500 J/g. Therefore, further tests for explosive properties had to be performed.

In the test on explosive properties according to UN Transport Regulation, Test series 1 and 2, the test item showed no explosive properties.

According to the results of the test on thermal stability and explosive properties, the test item is classified as following:

UN Transport Regulation: The test item does not have to be classified as explosive substance in class 1 according to the UN Transport Regulation.

GHS (CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008: Annex 1: 2.1): The test item does not have to be classified as explosive substance according to GHS or CLP Regulation EC 1272/2008 Annex 1: 2.1, respectively.

This study was GLP compliant and followed UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods:
Manual of Tests and Criteria, Rev. 6 (2015) andUN-Model Regulations, Rev. 20 (2017). The study was given a reliability rating of 1 (reliable without restrictions).
