Time/pressure test with regard to UN test series C.1: assessment "No" (a pressure rise to 2070 kPa was not achieved).

Time/pressure test with regard to UN test series 1 (c) (i): assessment "-" (gauge pressure of 2070 kPa was not reached: substance did not show the ability to deflagrate).

Time/pressure test with regard to test series 2 (c) (i): assessment "-" (gauge pressure of 2070 kPa was not reached: substance showed no or slow deflagration).

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item did not show the ability to deflagrate.
Executive summary:

The UN time/pressure test (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, UN Transport Regulations ST/SG/AC.10/1 1/Rev.5, 2009) was performed with the test item. The test item did not show the ability to deflagrate.

Residual moisture:

The test item contains a residual moisture of 0.1 wt.%, which was determined by drying thetest item under vacuum.

Thermal stability (DSC):

In the temperature range from 280-290 °C an endothermic effect was observed, which leads straight into an exothermic effect from 290-360 °C, with an average decomposition energy of -700 J/g. Due to the decomposition energy being above 500 J/g, the main tests on explosive properties had to be carried out.

Heating under confinement: Koenen-Test UN-Test: 1 (b) / 2 (b)

Tests with orifice plates with 1.0 and 2.0 mm diameter orifice were performed.

The test item shows no reaction with either an orifice plate with a orifice-diameter of 1mm or 2 mm on heating under confinement. The result is considered "-". Due to the chemical structure and the physical state (pure solid) an explosion for an orifice­diameter of 6 mm can be excluded.

The Koenen-Test (UN-Test 1(b) / 2(b)) of the test item shows no effect an heating under confinement with an orifice plate with an orifice diameter of 1 or 2 mm. The assessment of the results with regard to test series 1 (b) was "-". The assessment of the results with regard to test series 2 (b) was "-".

Mechanical sensitivity: Friction: BAM Friction Apparatus UN-Test: 3 (b) (i)

No explosion was observed within 6 tests using a 360 N loading.

The assessment of the results with regard to test series 3 (b) (i) was "-".

Mechanical sensitivity: Impact: BAM Fallhammer UN-Test: 3 (a) (ii)

No explosion was observed within 6 tests dropping the 10 kg mass from 0.50 m (50 J).

The assessment of the results with regard to test series 3 (a) (ii) was "-".

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item does not have to be classified as explosive in Class 1 according to the UN-Transport Regulations. The test item does not have to be classified as explosive according to GHS and EC 1272/2008 (CLP-Guideline) Annex 1:2.1. The test item has no explosive properties according to EC 440/2008, Part A, A.14.
Executive summary:

It was tested whether the test item shows some effect on heating under confinement according to UN-Test series 1 (b) / 2 (b) (Koenen-Test), is sensitive to impact according to UN-Test series 3 (a) (ii) (BAM Fallhammer) or is sensitive to friction according to UN-Testseries 3 (b) (i) (BAM friction apparatus) (Class 1). The test item was negative in these tests. The test item is not explosive.

Description of key information

It was tested whether the test item shows some effect on heating under confinement according to UN-Test series 1 (b) / 2 (b) (Koenen-Test), is sensitive to impact according to UN-Test series 3 (a) (ii) (BAM Fallhammer) or is sensitive to friction according to UN-Testseries 3 (b) (i) (BAM friction apparatus) (Class 1). The test item was negative in these tests. The test item is not explosive.


The UN time/pressure test (DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, UN Transport Regulations ST/SG/AC.10/1 1/Rev.5, 2009) was performed with the test item. The test item did not show the ability to deflagrate.
