- Executive summary:
The explosive properties of the test item was determined according to: European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A. 14. Explosive properties and OECD test guideline, OECD 113 Screening test for thermal stability and stability in air and US EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.6316 (1996), Explodability Thermal stability
As a screening method for the determination of explosive properties a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen was performed.
The test item and the reference were heated up from ambient to the final temperature at a constant heating rate (3 K/min) in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Closed crucibles are used as containers for the test item and the reference. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded.
The DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 210- 380 °C with maximum energy of 620 J/g. No further endothermal or exothermal effects were observed up to the final temperature of the measurement.
As the heat of decomposition was above 500 J/g, the main test on explosive properties had to be performed.
Thermal sensitivity
The method involves heating the substance or preparation in a steel tube, with various degrees of confinement being provided by nozzle-plates with different diameters (2 mm and 6 mm) of orifice, to determine whether the substance or preparation is liable to explode under conditions of thermal stress and confinement.
Mechanical sensitivity (shock)
The method involves subjecting the substance or preparation to the shock of a falling hammer on a steel anvil from a specified height (0.4 m) with a specified weight (10 kg).
The test item has no explosive properties under the test conditions.
