Description of key information

MBB is non-explosive, on the basis of thermal stability screening test.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The explosive properties of 2-Methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine (MBB) was determined by a thermal stability screening test (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), following the OECD 113 guideline.

The heat of decomposition of MBB was 233 J/g in the screening DSC test. The definitive test for explosive properties was not conducted, since the decomposition energy in the screening test was below 500 J/g (Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous GoodsIManual of Tests and Criteria).

2 -Methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine (MBB) is non-explosive, on the basis of thermal stability screening test.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The heat of decomposition of MBB was 233 J/g in the screening DSC test. The definitive test for explosive properties was not conducted, since the decomposition energy in the screening test was below 500 J/g.

2 -Methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine (MBB) is non-explosive, on the basis of thermal stability screening test.
