Remarks on result:

other: no effect observed

The substance shows a decomposition energy in the OSC measure­ments of about 590 J/g.

Based on the test result of the UN-Test 2 (a) (UN-GAP test) the substance is not sensitive to detonative shock.

The substance is not thermally sensitive when heated under defined confinement with a 2.0 mm diameter orifice plate. Based on the test result of the UN-Test 2 (b) (Koenen-Test) the substance shows no effect on heating under confinement.

Based on the test result of the time-pressure test the substance shows no likelihood of deflagration in the sense of the UN-Test 2 (c) (i) (time-pressure test).

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Not considered as explosive

Description of key information

There are measured data available for the explosiveness of 3,3’-Methylen-bis-[5-methyl-oxazolidine]. The data indicate that the substance is not explosive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:

non explosive

Additional information

The substance is handled and marketed as aqueous solution, which prevents explosive properties. The experimental data show that the substance is not explosive. This is in line with the structural formula and the composition of the substance for which it can be safely concluded that the substance does not evolve any explosive properties.
