- Remarks:
- migrated information
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Tin disulfide is non explosive.
- Executive summary:
As the sample of tin disulfide was neither shock sensitive nor thermally or friction sensitive, according to the criteria of the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of May 2008, test A.14, it is not representing an explosive hazard and has not to be considered to present a danger of explosion. This information is considered relevant for the risk assessment of tin disulfide.
Reference
Thermal sensitivity:
For each test 41.8 g of the test substance were filled into the testing tube to a total volume of 27 cm³ (corresponding to a height of 60 mm). Using the 6 mm orifice in the three single tests no reaction (flame, sparks, bang) was observed during the testing time of 300 s. After about 40 s – 45 s the steel tubes glowed red in all cases. No further observation was made until the burners were turned off after 5 minutes. After cooling down it was observed that all the tubes were unchanged. Using the 2 mm orifice in the three single tests no reaction (flame, sparks, bang) was observed during the testing time of 300 s. After about 40 s – 45 s the steel tubes glowed red in all cases. No further observation was made until the burners were turned off after 5 minutes. After cooling down it was observed that all the tubes were unchanged. No thermal sensitivity of the test item induced by heating under defined confinement was observed.
Mechanical shock sensitivity:
The sample was sieved (sieve size 0.5 mm). All that has passed through the sieve was used for testing.
None of the six single tests with an impact energy of 40 J showed any sparking or exploding. Therefore the series with an impact energy of 7.5 J was not necessary. No impact sensitivity of the test item was observed.
Mechanical friction sensitivity:
The sample was sieved (sieve size 0.5 mm). All that has passed through the sieve was used for testing.
None of six single tests with a friction force of 360 N showed any visible or audible explosion or crackling, or sparking. Therefore the series with a friction force of 120 N was not necessary. No friction sensitivity of the test item was observed.
Description of key information
non-explosive
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
As the sample of tin disulfide was neither shock sensitive nor thermally or friction sensitive, according to the criteria of the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of May 2008, test A.14, it is not representing an explosive hazard and has not to be considered to present a danger of explosion. This information is considered relevant for the risk assessment of tin disulfide.
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the sample of tin disulfide was neither shock sensitive nor thermally or friction sensitive, according to the criteria of the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of May 2008, test A.14, it is not representing an explosive hazard and has not to be considered to present a danger of explosion.
Hence, no classification and labelling is needed according to GHS and CLP.
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.
