Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Result:
other: The test material does not contain chemical groups indicating explosive properties.
Remarks on result:
other: The test material does not contain chemical groups indicating explosive properties.

- Except for its unsaturated C=C double bonds the test material does not contain chemical groups indicating explosive properties.

- The heat of decomposition (in the temperature range up to 400 °C) corresponds to DH = -460 J/g and therefore below the limit value of >│-500│ J/g for potentially explosive materials according to ‘UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition, 2009, Appendix 6, ‘Orange Book’’.

- The calculated oxygen balance (OB) for the test material is OB = -152 and therefore above the limit value of OB = -200 for potentially explosive materials according to ‘UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition, 2009, Appendix 6, ‘Orange Book’’.

- Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test material is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.

- Therefore test material is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed. Nevertheless, this judgment is with respect to classification and does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be excluded.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified in accordance with EU Criteria.
Conclusions:
It can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test material is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.
Executive summary:

Except for its unsaturated C=C double bonds the test material does not contain chemical groups indicating explosive properties.

The heat of decomposition (in the temperature range up to 400 °C) corresponds to DH = -460 J/g and therefore below the limit value of >│-500│ J/g for potentially explosive materials according to ‘UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition, 2009, Appendix 6, ‘Orange Book’’.

Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test material is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.

Therefore test material is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed. Nevertheless, this judgment is with respect to classification and does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be excluded.

Additional information

Except for its unsaturated C=C double bonds the test material does not contain chemical groups indicating explosive properties.

The heat of decomposition (in the temperature range up to 400 °C) corresponds to DH = -460 J/g and therefore below the limit value of >│-500│ J/g for potentially explosive materials according to ‘UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition, 2009, Appendix 6, ‘Orange Book’’.

Thus it can be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the test material is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.

Therefore test material is not to be classified as explosive material and no experimental determination according to the EC test guideline A.14 has to be performed. Nevertheless, this judgment is with respect to classification and does not necessarily mean that any processing hazards can be excluded.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to explosive properties.
