Results and discussion
Small-scale preliminary tests
- Parameter:
- other: behaviour under heating from 30 to 430 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: No exothermic or endothermic peak was observed, when the test item was heated from 30 to 430 °C on a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC).
Any other information on results incl. tables
The test item remained unaffected as there was no exothermic or endothermic peak observed, in all the three replications when the test item was heated from 30 to 430 °C on a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) in presence of nitrogen.
As there was no exothermic decomposition observed up to 430 °C, the test item is considered to be having “non- explosive nature”.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Tungsten disilicide is not explosive.
- Executive summary:
The test item remained unaffected as there was non exothermic or endothermic peak observed when the test item was heated from 30 to 430°C on a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) in presence of nitrogen.
As there was no exothermic decomposition observed up to 430 °C, the test item is considered as not explosive.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
