Results and discussion

Small-scale preliminary tests
Key result
Parameter:
other: Thermal sensitivity DSC
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
The test item has no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Thermal stability:


Before the performance of the flammability test, the test item was dried to 72 h in the vacuum drying oven at 60 °C (residual moisture: 8.2 wt. %). The dried test item was stored in the desiccator until the performance of the tests. 


Two DSC measurements in a closed glass crucible and in a closed glass crucible in a high pressure crucible showed a broad endothermic effect in the temperature range of 200 °C to 325 °C, directly followed by an exothermic effect in the temperature range of 325 °C to 370 °C with an energy release of 61 J/g and 60 J/g, respectively.


Explosive properties:


Due to the fact that the heat of dfecimpositon was below 500 J/g the test on explosive properties was not neccessary. 


Final results:


The test item has no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14.


The test item dos not have to be classified as explosive, class 1, in the sense of the UN transport regulations.


The test item does not have to be classified as self-reactive substance, class 4.1, in the sense of the UN transport regulation.
