thermal sensitivity - Koenen test: diameter of the orifice plate

Number of fragments:

0

Remarks on result:

not thermal sensitive if heated under defined confinement

Parameter:

sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)

Remarks on result:

not sensitive to impact using an impact energy of 40 J

Parameter:

sensitiveness to friction: friction load (N)

Remarks on result:

not sensitive to friction using a friction load of 360 N

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test substance is not an explosive.

Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant study, performed according to EU method A.14, the explosiveness of the test substance was determined. Experiments were performed six times and results indicate that the substance is not thermally sensitive, shock sensitive, or sensitive to friction. Therefore, it could be concluded that the test substance is not explosive.
