Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Study period:
- The study was conducted on 7 March 2017.
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Theoretical consideration, based on chemical structure of the components in the formulation.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- From the structural formula of the main constituent of Menthene Para, it can be concluded that the substance is not explosive. The substance does not have functional groups associated with explosive properties or chemical instability. Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that Menthene Para is incapable of causing explosions by action of external heating sources. As such further testing is not needed.
- Executive summary:
A theoretical assessment based on chemical structure of the components in the formulation was carried out to assess the explosion risk of the test substance.
From the structural formula of the main constituent of Menthene Para, it can be concluded that the substance is not explosive. The substance does not have functional groups associated with explosive properties or chemical instability. Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that Menthene Para is incapable of causing explosions by action of external heating sources.
