Small-scale preliminary testsopen allclose all
Key result
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J
Remarks:
impact sensitivity of mecoprop acid: over 50 J
Key result
Parameter:
sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)
Remarks on result:
not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N
Remarks:
friction sensitivity of mecoprop acid technical: over 360 N
Key result
Parameter:
thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate
Remarks on result:
not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
Remarks:
MCPP does not show any explosive properties on heating under confinement if the limiting diameter is 1,0 mm or more.
