Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosiveness
- Type of information:
- calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
- Remarks:
- Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated.

- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive (not specified)
- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Interpretation of results:
- non explosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that cordierite is not explosive.
- Executive summary:
An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated. It is concluded that cordierite is not explosive.

Description of key information
The substance was found to be not explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated. It is concluded that cordierite is not explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not have any structural features associated with explosiveness. In addition DSC did not show any sudden, significant exothermic events during heating such as might be expected if the substance were explosive.
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.
