Reference
Endpoint:
explosive properties of explosives
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD 113 (Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Parameter:
other: Decomposition energy
Value:
343
Remarks on result:
other: unit: J/g
Remarks:
Screening method

Two DSC-measurements in closed glass crucibles with the test item showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 270 - 350 °C with a maximum energy of 343 J/g.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance has no explosive properties in the sense of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria, appendix 6 as the decomposition energy is below 500 J/g.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was the determination of the explosive properties of the test item according to the UN recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods - manual of tests and criteria, rev. 6, Appendix 6. A screening test was performed according to OECD 113, Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air.

As a screening method for the determination of explosive properties a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen was performed.

The test item and the reference were heated up from ambient to the final temperature at a constant heating rate (3 K/min) in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Closed crucibles are used as containers for the test item and the reference. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded.

Two DSC-measurements in closed glass crucibles with the test item showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 270 - 350 °C with a maximum energy of 343 J/g.
