- The KOENEN steel tube test which is a test for thermal sensitivity.
- The BAM friction test which is a test for mechanical sensitivity with respect to friction.
No positive results to shock, friction and thermal stress were detected.
The test substance is not classified as explosive.
Reference
BAM fall hammer test
No signs of ignition or explosion were observed with the negative reference substance.
In none of the 6 tests any sign of ignition or explosion was seen with the test substance. There were no flames, no sparks, no soot and no bang.
KOENEN steel tube test

2:30 | The flame extinguished. | |
5:00 | End. | |
2 | 0:00 | Start. |
0:15 | The test substance ignited and burned. | |
2:29 | The flame extinguished. | |
5:00 | End. | |
3 | 0:00 | Start. |
0:17 | The test substance ignited and burned. | |
2:32 | The flame extinguished. | |
5:00 | End. |

3 | 0:00 | Start. |
0:12 | The test substance ignited and burned. | |
2:26 | The flame extinguished. | |
5:00 | End. |
No sign of explosion was detected in any of the tests.
BAM friction test
There were no signs of an ignition or explosion, no flames, no sparks and no crepitating with the negative reference substance.
In none of the 6 tests any sign of ignition or explosion was seen with the test substance. There were no flames, no sparks and no crepitating.
