Description of key information

non-explosive

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

- The substance contains one chemical group "azo" which might be associated with explosive properties.

-The experimental determination by DSC on substance was found the exothermic decomposition energy to be about 76 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition was about 340°C.

The experimental data by DSC indicated that the test substance does not have a potential for rapid energy release.Thus it can be concluded that the test substance is not considered to be as explosive material.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The explosive properties of test substance were screened based on a set of criteria for C&L as outline in the section R.7.1.11 of Guidance chapter R.7a of REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006

-Step1: The substance contains one chemical group "azo" which might be associated with explosive properties.

-Step2: The experimental determination by DSC on substance showed the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500°C.

The experimental data by DSC indicated that the test substance does not have a potential for rapid energy release. Thus it can be concluded that the test substance is not considered to be classified as explosive material.
