Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
1)The weight of the falling hammer is 5 kg and dropped from 0.8 m, however, the energy applied is the same as guideline, 40 J or 40 Nm. 2) In contrast to the EC guideline aluminium foil is used to pack the substance. 3) Ten tests are performed.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
not applicable
GLP compliance:
not specified

C16H15BrO2
IUPAC Name:
4-bromo-2,2-diphenylbutanoic acid
Test material form:

Results and discussion

Small-scale preliminary tests
Parameter:
sensitiveness to impact: impact energy (J)
Remarks:
More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Remarks:
If all tests according to Lütolf method are negative, powder can be considered not shock sensitive as reference substance meta-dinitrobenzene is not shock sensitive in similar conditions (although not tested simultaneously in this study)

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS:

-10 times negative, not shock sensitive (sensitivity > 39.2 Nm)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance is not shock sensitive (sensiticity > 39.2 Nm).
