Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
explosiveness, other
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
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Theoretical consideration, based on chemical structure of the components in the formulation.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
(not relevant)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Commercial name: Kephalis
Givaudan Code No.: 6378003
Chemical Nature: 4-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexanone
Empirical Formula: C14H24O2
Molecular weight: 224.34 g/mol
CAS No.: 36306-87-3
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
From the structural formula of Kephalis, it can be concluded that the substance is not explosive. The substance does not have the functional groups associated with explosive properties or chemical instability.
Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that Kephalis is incapable of causing explosions by action of external heating sources. As such further testing is not needed.
