A small exothermic peak between 350°C and 450°C was observed in the DSC curve. This was followed by an endothermic peak. The endothermic effect was possibly due to evaporation of the test substance from the expanded sample container.The extrapolated onset temperature of the exothermic peak was 389.37°C with a decomposition energy of 119.9 J/g. After the experiment, black residue was visible on the outside of the sample container. The residue in the container was a brown solid.

 

To investigate the exothermic peakbetween 350°C and 450°Ca smaller sample was used in the second experiment. The exothermic peak still occured.The extrapolated onset temperature of the exothermic peak was 392.40°C with a decomposition energy of 119.6 J/g. After the experiment, the sample container was expanded. The residue in the container was a brown solid.

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Conclusions:
The potential explosive properties of Blown linseed oil were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). No exothermic decomposition reactions above 500 J/g with a temperature onset under 500°C could be observed. Therefore it is concluded that Blown linseed oil is not explosive.

Description of key information
