Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The sample was not considered to be an explosive as there was no evidence of exothermic effects when the sample was tested by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) within the testing temperature range (i.e. the substance was tested up to 500°C, as reported in the OECD 102 study to determine the Melting Point of the substance). Further, the substance was found to be non explosive in an assessment of the explosive potential based on the structural composition of the substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the registered substance; as part of this study the thermal behaviour of the study was investigated, in accordance with the recommendations of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (5th Revised Edition). The explosive potential of the substance was determined during testing of the Melting Point of the substance in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 102. The sample was not considered to be an explosive as there was no evidence of exothermic effects when the sample was tested by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) within the testing temperature range (i.e. the substance was tested up to 500°C, as reported in the OECD 102 study to determine the Melting Point of the substance). Further, the explosivity potential of the substance was determined via an assessment of the structure of the substance, along with the results of thermal analysis conducted on the substance. The substance was found to be non explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The sample was not considered to be an explosive as there was no evidence of exothermic effects when the sample was tested by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) within the testing temperature range (i.e. the substance was tested up to 500°C, as reported in the OECD 102 study to determine the Melting Point of the substance).
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.
