Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties

Description of key information

Zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) does not contain functional groups that are directly associated with explosive properties. It is therefore considered to be void of any explosive properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VII, Section 7.11, Column 2 and ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, section R.7.1.11, Juli 2017, the study does not need to be conducted, since zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) does not contain functional groups that are directly associated with explosive properties. Finally, it is noted that despite the long-term use of zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate), it is not classified for explosive properties according to UN transport regulations and derogation from testing is hereby applied for.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) is considered to be void of any explosive properties. Therefore, classification is not required for explosiveness according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent amendments.
