Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

An analysis of the substance has been performed in accordance with section 2.1.4.2 of the CLP regulation (EC 1272/2008). The assessment has been made with reference to the structural motifs that are listed in Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria as being indicative of explosive behaviour in organic materials, to identify the presence of any structural features commonly associated with explosive behaviour.

 

The raw materials used in the manufacture of the substance do not contain any halogens, nitrogen, or oxygen, and these elements are not expected to be introduced during the process, therefore it is unlikely that any constituents in the substance will contain these elements. The conclusions are summarised in the table below although it should be noted at the substance is a UVCB and its composition is not fully understood.

 

Functional Group

Comments/Conclusions

C-C unsaturation (acetylenes, acetylides, 1,2-dienes)

The substance potentially contains C-C unsaturation (olefinic components) due to unreacted or reaction products of pinene in the substance; however, pinene itself is not associated with explosive behaviour.

C-Metal and N-Metal (Grignard reagents, organo-lithium compounds)

Not present

Contiguous N atoms (azides, aliphatic azo compounds, diazonium salts, hydrazines

Not present

Contiguous O atoms (peroxides, ozonides)

Not present

N-O (hydroxylamines, nitrates, nitro compounds, nitroso compounds, N-oxides)

Not present

N-Halogen (chloramines, fluoroamines)

Not present

O-Halogen (chlorates, perchlorates)

Not present

 

It is concluded that the registered substance is not an explosive.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the registered substance is not explosive.
Executive summary:

An expert assessment was performed in accordance with section 2.1.4.2 of the CLP regulation (EC 1272/2008), based on an examination of the components used in the manufacture of the registered substance and the likely products of that reaction.

Among the structural motifs listed in Table A6.1 in Appendix 6 of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria as being indicative of explosive behaviour in organic materials, only C-C unsaturation might be present in the final product due to unreacted or reaction products of pinene in the substance (pinene itself is not associated with explosive behaviour). No other structural motifs are present in the final product.

It has been concluded that the registered substance is not explosive.

Description of key information

The registered substance is not considered to have explosive properties.
