Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
20 Nov 2012 - 21 Nov 2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 830.6316 (Explodability)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Hess. Ministerium für Umwelt, Energie, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz, Wiesbaden, Germany
Key result
Parameter:
other: exothermic decomposition energy [J/g] (DSC measurement)
Value:
161
Remarks on result:
other: not explosive
Remarks:
the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g, explosive properties can be excluded

Thermal Stability


The DSC-measurement in closed glass crucible with the test item showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range 105 - 135 °C and several exothermal effects in the temperature range 140 - 380 °C with an overall energy of 161 J/g.


 


Explosive Properties


The heat of decomposition was determined to a maximum energy of 161 J/g. Due to an energy release below 500 J/g; explosive properties for the test item investigated can be excluded. Therefore the main test series on explosive properties was not deemed necessary.


 


Result


The test item, technical substance, has no explosive properties under the test conditions in the sense of the EU Method A.14 and in the sense of the US EPA OPPTS 830.6316.

Thermal Stability

The DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible in stainless steel crucible showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range 110 - 140 °C, two exothermal effects in the temperature range 155 - 230 °C and 270 - 385 °C respectively with an overall energy of 295 J/g.

An additional DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range 110 - 140 °C and several exothermal effects in the temperature range 140 - 490 °C with an overall energy of 278 J/g.

Explosive Properties

The heat of decomposition was determined to a maximum energy of 295 J/g. Due to an energy release below 500 J/g; explosive properties for the test item investigated can be excluded.

Therefore the main test series on explosive properties was not deemed necessary.

Result

The test item, pure substance, has no explosive properties under the test conditions in the sense of the EU Method A.14 and in the sense of the EPA OPPTS 830.6316.

Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties

Description of key information

There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. Furthermore the exothermic decomposition energy determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry is less than 500 J/g (EU A.14, OPPTS 830.6313, DSC).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

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 therefore is conclusive but not sufficient for classification: Based on the chemical structure and on the exothermic decomposition energy less than 500 J/g the substance is not explosive.
