Specific details on test material used for the study:
None
Key result
Parameter:
other: Presence of chemical structures associated with explosive properties
Remarks on result:
other: no structures associated with explosive properties are present in the molecule
Key result
Parameter:
other: oxygen balance
Value:
-233.17
Remarks on result:
other: lower than the trigger value of -200
Key result
Parameter:
other: Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy
Remarks on result:
other: The curve displayed one exothermic peaks up to 350 °C with a total energy release of 37.77 J/g. As a result, the overall energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Screening evaluation:

Analysis of the molecular structure revealed, that no such chemical alert structures are present in the molecule.

Calculation of the oxygen balance according to the above mentioned formula is -233.17 and therefore lower than the trigger value of -200.

Determination of the exothermic decomposition energy:

The curve displayed one exothermic peaks up to 350 °C with a total energy release of 37.77 J/g. As a result, the overall energy release is below a critical trigger level of 500 J/g and the onset of energy release is below 500 °C.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.
Executive summary:

The explosive properties of Vat Black 065 were estimated based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (Manual of Tests and Criteria, Annex 6, Orange Book, 3rd edition, 1999). Analysis of the chemical structure revealed no alerts for explosive properties. The calculated chemical oxygen balance is below the trigger value of -200 and the determination of the exothermic decomposition energy demonstrated no energy release above the critical value of 500 J/g. Therefore the substance is considered to be non-explosive according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and no further testing is required.
