Reference
The tendency of a compound to undergo violent or explosive decomposition is an important safety consideration. In general, the oxygen balance and various structural parameters (bond groupings) are factors associated with explosive properties.
Based on the stucture and composition of the test substance, none of the components contains any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion.
Also, the oxygen balance was calculated for the starting materials. The oxygen balance of a compound is the difference between the oxygen content of the compound and that required to fully oxidize the carbon, hydrogen and other oxidisable elements to carbon dioxide, water, etc. Nitrogen is not considered oxidisable and is usually liberated as the gaseous element during explosive decomposition.
The oxygen balance is calculated for the chemical reaction:
CcHhOo + [c + (h/4) – (o/2)] O2→c CO2+ (h/2) H2O
where c, h and o are the amounts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms respectively.
Oxygen balance (%) = -1600 x [2 x c + (h/2) – o] / molecular weight
If there is a deficiency of oxygen, the balance is negative, while an excess of oxygen gives a positive balance. Compounds with a positive balance can act as oxidants and are often explosive in nature. However, there are known explosives with an oxygen balance of –64%. Compounds with an oxygen balance which is more negative than –200% are not considered to pose an explosive risk.
Dipentaerythriol
UsingC10H22O7as molecular formula and 254.28g/mol as molecular weight, the oxygen balance was calculated to be –151 %. This is > –200% and therefore within the region where there may be a potential for explodability. However, there are no plosophores (bond groupings known to give explosive properties) or auxoploses (explosive enhancing groups) present in the structure. The relatively high oxygen balance is considered due to the presence of 6 hydroxy groups in the molecule. Overall consideration of the properties does not suggest a risk of explodability.
Valeric acid (pentanoic acid)
UsingC5H10O2as molecular formula and 102.13g/mol as molecular weight, the oxygen balance was calculated to be –204 %. This value is outside the region where there may be a potential for explodability.
n-Heptanoic acid
UsingC7H14O2as molecular formula and 130.19g/mol as molecular weight, the oxygen balance was calculated to be –234 %. This value is outside the region where there may be a potential for explodability.
3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid (iso-nonanoic acid)
UsingC9H18O2as molecular formula and 158.24g/mol as molecular weight, theoxygen balance was calculated to be –253 %. This value is outside the region where there may be a potential for explodability.
All oxygen present in the test substance is bound in ester groups which are known not to be explosive.
In conclusion, HXL-8366 is not explosive.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is not classified as explosive under CLP as it does not fill the requirements for classification.
