Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
The substance is non-explosive; EU Method A.14, Macdonald et al. (1985) & EPA OPPTS 830.6316, Nelson (2006).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Two studies investigating the explosive properties of the substance are available. Both were conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with a standardised guideline; both studies were therefore assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the criteria of Klimisch et al. (1997). The findings from both studies were considered together, following a weight of evidence approach.
In the study, reported by Macdonald et al. (1985), the explosive properties of the test material were investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.14. Under the conditions of the study, the test material was found not to possess explosive properties.
In the study, reported by Nelson (2006), the explosive properties of the test material were investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guideline EPA OPPTS 830.6316 using differential scanning calorimetry and a drop weight impact tester.
A plot of the DSC showed an exothermic event occurring at approximately 371 °C with a heat energy of 157 J/g, indicating that the test material is not potentially explosive upon heating. The test material was not impact sensitive.
Findings from both studies indicate that the substance is non-explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to explosivity.
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex VI, Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD), the substance does not require classification with respect to explosivity.
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.
