- other: ΔHf (kJ/mol)
- Value:
- 1 113
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- The substance Me-NENA has a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exotherm of 218ºC and a heat of formation (ΔHf) of 1113 kJ/mol.
- Executive summary:
Me-NENA has a highly positive ΔHf. The NENAs utilize both nitramines and nitroesters as sources of their energy. They have been demonstrated to enable propellants to exhibit high burn rates yet retain low flame temperatures. The substance Me-NENA has a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exotherm of 218ºC and a heat of formation (ΔHf) of 1113 kJ/mol.

Me-NENA has a highly positive ΔHf. The NENAs utilize both nitramines and nitroesters as sources of their energy. They have been demonstrated to enable propellants to exhibit high burn rates yet retain low flame temperatures.
Description of key information
Key study: UN Test series 3 (BAM methods). The sensitivities of the substance Me-NENA against impact (Edr), friction (Fr) and electrostatic discharge (Eel) were determined to be >35 J (less sensitive), 120 N (sensitive) and 0.6 J respectively. Also, Me-NENA was found to indicate highly explosive potential based on the calculated Berthelot–Rot value.
Key study: The substance Me-NENA has a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exotherm of 218ºC and a heat of formation (ΔHf) of 1113 kJ/mol.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Me-NENA is a well-known substance used in the manufacture of formulating propellants and ammunition.The substance is classified for explosive properties (Div 1.1) according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
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.
