Method:
UN Test 3 (a) (ii): BAM Fallhammer
Parameter:
limiting impact energy (J)
Value:
50
Result:
negative, no explosion
Key result
Test series:
UN Test series 3
Method:
UN Test 3 (b) (i): BAM friction apparatus
Parameter:

Description of key information

The following test were conducted:

- UN Test series 3: BAM Fallhammer method

- UN Test series 3: BAM friction method

- UN Test series 1 and 2: Koenen test

- UN Test series 1 and 2: Time-pressure test

- UN Test series F.3: Trauzl test

All tests gave a negative result. Thus the substance can be stated as non explosive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
