Test material
- Reference substance name:
- Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
- EC Number:
- 232-504-3
- EC Name:
- Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext.
- Cas Number:
- 8060-28-4

Notes from the test report: "The sample was observed to undergo an exothermic event from 60.3°C which had a heat of decomposition of -24.7 J.g-1. A second exothermic event was then observed to commence from 138.0°C which had a heat of decomposition of -157.7 J.g-1. No further significant energetic events were noted up to 400°C."

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The DSC trace for hop extract shows two exothermic events: one at 60.3 oC with a heat of decomposition of -24.7 J per g, and one at 138.0 oC with a heat of decomposition of -157.7 J per g. No further significant energetic events were noted up to 400 oC. The exothermic decomposition is less than 500 J per g (Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 2, 2.1.4.3 (c)), so the material is not explosive, and it is less than 300 J per g (Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 2, 2.8.2.1) so it is not self-reactive. The flash point of hop extract is >60 oC. The DSC trace shows no dangerous events when heating to 140 oC.
