Any other information on results incl. tables

The onset temperature of the exothermal decomposition reaction was 𝑻onset = 145 °C with a decomposition energy of Δ𝑼 = −244 ± 25 J/g (first test) and 𝑻onset = 365 °C with a decomposition energy of Δ𝑼 = −148 ± 25 J/g (second test).

Since the absolute value of the decomposition energy was below 500 J/g the substance can be classified as non-explosive.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a differential scanning calorimetry test, the absolute value of the decomposition energy was below 500 J/g. The substance can be classified as non-explosive. No further testing is required.
