Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The results of a Differential Scanning Calorimetry and a Koenen experiment are in good agreement and both indicate that any hazards due to self-heating, self-ignition, detonation or explosive properties can be ruled out.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Three samples of different batches of the reaction mass of calcium carbonate and calcium dihydroxide and calcium peroxide were tested in a Differential Scanning Calorimetry and a Koenen experiment in order to determine the explosive properties of the test substance.
DSC:
Up to the final temperature of the DSC measurement the total heat of decomposition of all tested calcium peroxide batches as tested is less than 500 J/g. The onset of decomposition is significantly below 500°C.
Koenen:
The test samples show no effects of explosion at a limiting diameter of 1 mm according to Koenen test.
Based on the findings in both the DSC and the Koenen test, any hazards due to self-heating, self-ignition, detonation or explosive properties of the reaction mass of calcium carbonate and calcium dihydroxide and calcium peroxide have to be ruled out.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available test results show that the test substance does not have any self-heating, self-ignition, detonation or explosive properties. As a consequence, in accordance with the criteria described in Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP), classifcation for explosivity is not required.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
