Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
This end-point study is waived, because it is scientifically unjustified. MMVF note Q fibres are of inorganic origin and manufactured at temperatures of approx. 1500 °C (molten glass). Absence of certain reactive groups in the structural formula establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of rapid decomposition with evolution of gases or release of heat (EU test method A14 - Explosive properties). Furthermore, a bibliographic source entitled Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards (7th edition), Vol 1&2, Elsevier, 2007, was also consulted. In accordance with this authoritative handbook and the other information, it is evaluated that MMVF note Q fibres do not hold explosive potential.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
MMVF note Q fibres are mineral fibres (inorganic) and do not contain chemical groups associated with explosive properties. Many years of practical use of the fibres support this statement as well as a bibliographic source entitled Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards (7th edition), Vol 1&2, Elsevier, 2007.
Justification for classification or non-classification
MMVF note Q fibres are non explosive. Because these fibres are mineral fibres (inorganic) and do not contain chemical groups associated with explosive properties.
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.
