Any other information on results incl. tables

FAT 40840/A TE contains azo groups which might be associated with explosive properties. The halogen atoms are only linked directly to Carbon atoms and therefore do not indicate explosive properties. The results of the oxygen balance is not considered relevant for this substance as the substance is not addequately characterised by taking into account carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only and omitting nitrogen, sulphur and halogens.

Calorimetric Tests

The exothermic decomposition energy was determined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry in a closed, gold plated high pressure vessel (DSC). The calorimetric test is of special importance for the evaluation of compounds containing chemical groups associated with explosive properties. A sharp peak and three flat peak were observed. Four peaks were detected between room temperature and 500 °C. The total of their decomposition energy (ΔHDec determined between room temperature and 500 °C) was found to be about 368,1 J/g, thus being significantly below the UN limit of 500 J/g. The onset point of the first exothermic peak was at about 41,63 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

It can be concluded beyond any reasonable doubt, that FAT 40840/A TE is not a potential explosive and does not have a potential for rapid energy release.

Executive summary:

FAT 40840/A TE contains azo groups which might be associated with explosive properties. The halogen atoms are only linked directly to Carbon atoms and therefore do not indicate explosive properties. The results of the oxygen balance is not considered relevant for this substance as the substance is not addequately characterised by taking into account carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only and omitting nitrogen, sulphur and halogens.

In the calorimetric test 4 peaks were detected between room temperature and 500°C. The total of their composition energy was found to be about 368.1 J/g, thus being significately below the UN limit of 500 J/g.
