The substance is not sensitive to friction.
Thermal sensivity
The limiting diameter, i.e. the largest diameter of the orifice at which "explosion" occurs, is: <1.0 mm
Assessment of the result within the meaning of test E.1 (related to Division 4.1): The effect of intensively heating the substance under high confinement is low.
Assessment of the result within the meaning of test 1(b) (related to Class 1): There is no effect from intensively heating the substance under high confinement .
Assessment of the result within the meaning of test 2(b) (related to Class 1): There is no violent effect from intensively heating the substance under high confinement .
Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
