Description of key information
Molybdenum trioxide is void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties, such as metal peroxides, peroxo-acid-anions, azides, and halogen oxides. Any rapid/violent reaction with oxygen/air can be excluded, since molybdenum trioxide contains molybdenum in its highest oxidation state (+VI). Further, it is noted that during long term industrial use of the substance, no observations relating to explosiveness have been made.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Molybdenum trioxide does not require classification for explosiveness. Molybdenum trioxide is void of any chemical structures commonly associated with explosive properties, such as metal peroxides, peroxo-acid-anions, azides, and halogen oxides. Any rapid/violent reaction with oxygen/air can be excluded, since molybdenum trioxide contains molybdenum in its highest oxidation state (+VI). Further, it is noted that during long term industrial use of the substance, no observations relating to explosiveness have been made.
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.
