Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Xanthates does not contain groups that are know to contribute to explosive properties, shown in Table R.7.1-28 (ECHA , Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment. Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, May 2008)
The dry powder of xanthates can form explosive dust-air mixture.
Solid xanthates on contact with moisture or heated above 1500C release extremely flammable carbon disulfide
(2011,CCOHS, CHEMINFO, sodium ethyl xanthate, http://ccinfoweb2.ccohs.ca/cheminfo)
For carbon disulfide: – lower explosive limit in air 1,3 vol.%,
upper explosive limit in air 50,0 vol.%.
