Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mechanical shock sensitivity

None of the six single tests with an impact energy of 40 J showed any sparking or exploding. Therefore the test series using impact energies of 7.5 J were not necessary. No impact sensitivity of the test item was observed.

Thermal sensitivity

Using the 6 mm orifice after 73-75 s the start of a reaction was observed in the single tests (yellow coloured flame of about 1.5 m height above the tube and escaping of the test substance). The reaction lasted 65-67 s. After about 170 s the bottom of the steel tubes became glowing red. The burners were turned off after 5 minutes. After cooling down it was observed that all the tubes were unchanged.

Using the 2 mm orifice after 67-69 s the start of a reaction was observed in the single tests (yellow coloured flame of about 1.5 m height above the tube and escaping of the test substance connected with a noisy sound). The reaction lasted 65-66 s. After about 170 s the bottom of the steel tubes became glowing red. The burners were turned off after 5 minutes. After cooling down it was observed that all the tubes were unchanged.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance was reported not to be an explosive hazard, determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol. No further details are available.

Description of key information

Explosiveness: Not explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The substance was determined not to be explosive in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol (EU Method A.14), and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 17025).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not classified for explosivity on the basis of measured explosivity study in accordance with EU Method A.14.
