Thermal stability (DSC)

In the temperature range of 90 – 190 °C a first exothermic effect can be observed with an average energy of -60 J/g. A second exothermic effect was oberserved in temperature ranges of 220 – 290 °C with an average decomposition energy of approximately -40 J/g.

Due to the decomposition energy being below the threshold of -500 J/g, further tests for explosive properties did not have to be performed.


Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the DSC-measurements the test item Olive BW showed two small exothermic effects in the temperature ranges of 90 – 190 °C and 230 – 290 °C, with an overall decomposition energy of approximately -100 J/g. Due to the fact that the energy of the exothermic decomposition was below the threshold of -500 J/g, further tests for explosive properties had not to be performed.

According to the results of the test on thermal stability, 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.
Regulation EC 440/2008 and Directive 67/548/EEC: The test item has no explosive properties according to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.14. Explosive Properties.
Executive summary:

Summary

In the DSC-measurements the test item Olive BW showed two small exothermic effects in the temperature ranges of 90 – 190 °C and 230 – 290 °C, with an overall decomposition energy of approximately -100 J/g. Due to the fact thatthe energy of the exothermic decomposition wasbelow the threshold of -500 J/g,further tests for explosive properties had not to be performed.

According to the results of the test on thermal stability, 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.

Regulation EC 440/2008 and Directive 67/548/EEC: The test item has noexplosive propertiesaccording to the Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.14. Explosive Properties.

Additional information

In the DSC-measurements the test item Olive BW showed two small exothermic effects in the temperature ranges of 90 – 190 °C and 230 – 290 °C, with an overall decomposition energy of approximately -100 J/g. Due to the fact that the energy of the exothermic decomposition was below the threshold of -500 J/g, further tests for explosive properties had not to be performed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data, the test item is not classified for explosiveness according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EC) No 2017/776.
