Key result
Parameter:
other: A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed under nitrogen.
Remarks on result:
other: The heat of decomposition was below 500 J/g.

Thermal stability

Two DSC measurements in closed glass crucibles showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range of 25 - 45°C and two exothermal effects in the temperature range of 180 - 215 °C and 455 - 470 °C with an overall energy release of 20 J/g. Above 470 °C the course of the baseline indicated a build-up of pressure.

Explosive properties

The heat of decomposition in the DCS measurements was below 500 J/g.Therefore, the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is not explosive.
Executive summary:

The test item had no explosive properties in the sense of the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.14.

The heat of decomposition in the DCS measurements was below 500 J/g.Therefore, the main test on explosive properties was not necessary.

Description of key information
