Any other information on results incl. tables

In the DSC-curve obtained with the first experiment a small exothermic peak between 375°C and 450°C was observed. This was followed by an endothermic peak. This effect was most likely obtained due to evaporation of the test substance from the expanded and torn sample container. After the experiment, a black residue was visible on the outside of the sample container

To investigate the exothermic peakbetween 375°C and 450°C a smaller sample was used in the second experiment. In the DSC-curves obtained no exothermic peak could be observed. After the experiment, the sample container was intact. In the container, a brown residue was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

non explosive

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The potential explosive properties of Standolized linseed oil were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). No exothermic decomposition reactions above 500 J/g with a temperature onset under 500°C could be observed. Therefore it is concluded that Standolized linseed oil is not explosive.
