Parameter:
other: Thermal stability via DSC measurement
Remarks on result:
other: The heat of decomposition was < 500 J/g. The main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Results
Thermal Stability
Two DSC-measurements showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range of 200 – 230 °C and an exothermal effect in the range of 240 – 375 °C with a maximum enthalpy of -141 J/g. No further endothermal nor exothermal effects were seen up to the final test temperature of 500 °C.

Explosive Properties
The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g, therefore the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Description of key information

Not explosive (EU Method A.14., Thermal Stability)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

Heat of decomposition determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry was below 500 J/g. Main test on explosive properties not necessary.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on explosive properties of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification: The exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g.
