Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Water paste form: NON EXPLOSIVE
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
FORM OF WATER PASTE:
NON EXPLOSIVE
Literature data available describe the substance as explosive if it is in dry form:
- Dust explosion possible if in powder or
granular form, mixed with air. May explosively decompose on shock,
friction, or concussion (International Program on Chemical Safety, 1996).
- Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may
result in the spontaneous decomposition and heating with a resultant
explosion. /Dinitrophenol solutions/ (Association of American Railroads,
2005)
- Forms explosive salts with alkalis and ammonia (Lewis, R.J. , 2004)
The compound is used in the form of a water paste to suppress its explosive properties.
Dinitrophenol, wetted, with not less than 15% water, by mass is classified with UN number 1320, class 4.1 classification code DT (solid desensitized explosive) according to ADR European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). -
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is marketed with a concentration of water > 15% wt, which suppresses its explosive properties and classification for explosive properties does not apply under Regulation 1272/2008
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.
