Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Non explosive
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
According to the REACH Regulation adaptations of the standard information requirements, a specific test can be avoided because:
- the substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200 and
- the organic substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties but the exothermic decomposition energy is less than 500 J/g and the onset of exothermic decomposition is below 500 °C (i.e. energy of -95 J/g; onset at 153 °C).
Malachite Green Oxalate has been tested for impact sensitivity and dust explosibility. The studies outcomes report that Basic Green 004 Oxalate is not impact sensitive and dust explosibility only occurs in concentrations equal/greater than 100 g/m³ (Ignition source : 10 kV-Induction spark).
Furthermore, this substance is produced and used at the highest level in Europe, transported in ship from outside Europe at various temperature and stoking conditions. Evidences connected to the long experience in handling of the molecule confirm that no explosive properties have never been observed and reported up to now in the usual conditions of production, stock, transport and use.
