Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From June 15, 1999 to June 16, 1999
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Parameter:
- other: DSC
- Remarks on result:
- not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement
- Remarks:
- The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore, the main test on explosion properties was not performed.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance was found to be non-explosive.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the explosiveness of the test substance according to the EU Method A.14, in compliance with GLP.
A preliminary screening study for explosive properties was carried out with the purified test substance by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in closed glass pan. The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g. Therefore, the main test on explosion properties was not performed.
Under the study conditions, the test substance was found to be non-explosive.
Reference
The measurement in a closed glass pan did not show any endothermic effect prior an exothermal effect in the range of 140 -205°C, with energy of 42 J/g. At 215°C, an exothermal decomposition was observed in the range 215-320°C, with decomposition energy of 265 J/g. Measured decomposition energy was below 500 J/g, so the main test of explosive properties was deemed unnecessary.
Description of key information
The test substance is non-explosive (Smeykal, 1999).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
