Key result
Test series:
UN Test series 2
Method:
UN Test 2 (b): Koenen test
Parameter:
other: Combustion was observed at the orifice 28-45 seconds after application of the flame. Combustion ended 131-172 seconds after application of the flame.
Result:
negative, no explosion
Remarks on result:
no mass explosion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Shock test was performed on the liquid test item, results were negative using a 10 kg weight from a height of 40cm, so the 5 kg testing was not performed. ADIPONITRILE has been determined not to have shock sensitivity to explosion. Thermal sensitivity test was conducted as validation, using an inert substance, dibutyl phthalate. The test item was burned and the results were negative. ADIPONITRILE has been determined not to have thermal and shock sensitivity to explosion.
