- Remarks:
- The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14.
- Interpretation of results:
- non explosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The test item is non-explosive.
- Executive summary:
To investigate the explosive properties of the test item it was tested according to methods OECD 113 (Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air) and EU A.14 (Explosive properties).
As the heat of decomposition was above 500 J/g in OECD 113, the main test on explosive properties (EU A.14) was performed. The test item was neither sensitive to mechanical shock and friction or to thermal influence.
Thus it can be concluded that the item has no explosive properties in the sense of the method EU A.14.

Individual results
Thermal stability
DSC-measurements in closed glass crucibles with the test item showed one endothermal effect in the temperature range 150 – 210 °C and one exothermal effects in the temperature range of 205 – 290 °C with a median enthalpy of -1423 J/g.
The results are summarised inTable 1.

Explosive properties
The heat of decomposition was above 500 J/g. Therefore, the main test on explosive properties had to be performed.
Mechanical sensitivity (friction):
The test item was sieved (mesh size 0.5 mm) before the measurement. No explosion occurred within 6 tests using a pinload of 360 N.
Mechanical sensitivity (shock):
The test item was sieved (mesh size 0.5 mm) before the measurement. No explosion within 6 tests using a mass of 10 kg falling from a height of 0.4 m was observed.
Thermal sensitivity:
Three tests were performed with a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter. No explosion was observed. Table 2 gives the results of the thermal sensitivity.

The test on thermal sensitivity carried out with a nozzle with a diameter of 2.0 mm showed no explosion. Compared to the nozzle with a diameter of 6.0 mm the venting area of the nozzle with 2.0 mm is smaller by an order of magnitude. Additionally, the physical state of the test item excludes the enrichment of high-energy components caused by evaporation of volatile solvents. Due to these facts, an explosion with a nozzle width of 6.0 mm was excluded.
Description of key information
The explosive properties of the test item were investigates in accordance with methods OECD 113 (Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air) and EU A.14 (Explosive properties).
Based on the results of the screening test (OECD 113), the main test on explosive properties (EU A.14) was performed. The item did not show explosive properties in the main test.
