Description of key information

Explosive properties were determined in two GLP studies following EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties) using differential scanning calorimetry. Heat of decomposition, thermal sensitivity and mechanical (shock and friction) were analyzed. In both studies, REactive Olive F00-0149 was considered to have no explosive properties.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

A screening test for explosive properties of Reactive Olive F00-0149 (55% purity) was performed via DSC in closed glass pans with a heating rate of 3 K/min (Franke, 2002). Two measurements in (temperature range 25 to 500 °C) showed an exothermal effect in the range 165 - 350 °C, with a decomposition energy of 404 J/g and 397 J/g, respectively. The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore the test on explosion properties was considered unnecessary in line with EU method A.14.

A second test according to EU method A.14 was performed with a purified and desalinated test item (57% purity). The DSC-measurement in the closed glass crucible showed an exothermic decomposition in the temperature range 170- 330 °C with an energy of 578 J/g. Therefore the main tests on explosion properties were performed, assessing mechanical sensitivity (friction and shock), and thermal sensitivity. Based on the results of this testing battery, the test item has no explosive properties in the sense of EU Method A. 14.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item has no explosive properties in the sense of EU Method A. 14.
