Thermal Stabilitv

The DSC-measurements in closed glass crucibles showed an exothermal decomposition in the temperature range 315 - 360 °C with an energy of 606 J/g and 666 J/g respectively. The heat of decomposition was above 500 J/g. Due to this fact the test on explosion properties was performed.

Explosive Properties

Mechanical sensitivity (friction):

No explosion was observed within 6 tests using a peg load with 360 N. Only a changing of colour in six tests was observed.

Mechanical Sensitivity (Shock):

No explosion within 6 tests using a mass of 10 kg falling from a height of 0.4 m was observed.

Thermal sensitivity:

Three tests were performed with a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter.

Test no.

The test on thermal sensitivity carried out with a nozzle with a diameter of 2.0 mm showed no explosion. Compared to the nozzle with a diameter of 6.0 mm the venting area of the nozzle with 2.0 mm is smaller by an order of magnitude. Additionally the physical state of the test item excludes the enrichment of high-energy components caused by evaporation of volatile solvents. Due to these facts an explosion with a nozzle width of 6.0 mm is excluded.

No explosion within 3 tests using a circular nozzle plate with a hole of 2 mm diameter was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item has no danger of explosion and presents no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.14.
Executive summary:

Explosive properties of the test substance were examined in a study according to EU test method A.14 as well as OPPTS and OECD guidelines. The test substance possesses no explosive properties.
