Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosiveness
- Type of information:
- calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
- Remarks:
- Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated.

Description of key information
The substance was found to be not explosive.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been performed on a sample of the solid to investigate whether any significant exothermic events occur when the material is heated. It is concluded that cordierite is not explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not have any structural features associated with explosiveness. In addition DSC did not show any sudden, significant exothermic events during heating such as might be expected if the substance were explosive.
