Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Reference
Thermal test: burned with a yellow/orange flame but tube recovered intact in all six tests.
Shock: no evidence of ignition, explosion or decomposition in all six tests.
Friction: no evidence of ignition or explosion although a black line was noted on the plate after testing, indicating that decomposition had occurred.
Description of key information
MPP was found not to be explosive when tested for the effect of shock, friction and flame under test method EU A14.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Thermal test: burned with a yellow/orange flame but tube recovered intact in all six tests.
Shock: no evidence of ignition, explosion or decomposition in all six tests.
Friction: no evidence of ignition or explosion although a black line was noted on the plate after testing, indicating that decomposition had occurred.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance has been found not to be explosive when tested by EU test method A14. However, CLP classification criteria cannot be applied to the results obtained by this test method and so classification is based on structural considerations.
Classification based on structural assessment:
There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule when compared to the list of groups given in Appendix 6 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Test and Criteria.
The substance is therefore not classified for explosivity.
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.
