Description of key information

Non explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

On the basis of the screening evaluation of the chemical substance characteristics, Fluorescent Brightener 367 does not contains reactive groups and is expected to not possess any potential for rapid energy release; in addition, the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200.

Thus, the substance shell not be classified as potentially explosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 2.1.4.2. Screening procedure section, the screening procedure is aimed at identifying the presence of such reactive groups and the potential for rapid energy release. If the screening procedure identifies the substance or mixture to be a potential explosive, the acceptance procedure (section 10.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria) has to be performed.

Screening procedure failed to evidence any reason for concern, on the basis that the chemical structure of Fluorescent Brightener 367.

In conclusion, the substance can be considered non explosive, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
