Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
RS-Pantolactone is not a potentional explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Based on Section "Reactive Groups" and "Calorimetric Tests" as outlined above, RS-Pantolactone is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed. Although the result of Section "Oxygen balance" is above the given limit the deviation is small. Given the fact that all other criteria for RS-Pantolactone being an explosive material are negative, an experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has not to be performed.
Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt, that RS-Pantolactone is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release. Nevertheless, this judgment is in respect to classification; it does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be discounted.

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).
