Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2 August- 19 August
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Fully documented study run under GLP and according to international guidelines.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Minor deviations; see "other informations on materials and methods" below.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Parameter:
- other: More sensitive to friction than m-dinitrobenzene
- Remarks on result:
- not measured/tested
- Remarks:
- test item is liquid
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive under influence of flame
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- according to flash point test
- Parameter:
- other: Explosive (not specified)
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- Test: thermal sensitivity
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No signs of an explosive reaction could be observed in any of the tests.
In the test for thermal sensitivity, the test item evaporated through the orifice and burned (duration 1:27 – 1:35 minutes), but no explosion was observed.
Therefore, the test item "2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues" is considered as “not explosive under the conditions of guideline EU A.14”. - Executive summary:
The explosive properties of "2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues" were determined following EU A.14.
In the test for thermal sensitivity, no explosion was observed.
In the test for mechanical sensitivity (shock), no explosion was observed when using a force of 40 J.
The test for mechanical sensitivity (friction) was not performed due to the liquid nature of the test item.
The test item “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” can be considered as “not explosive under the conditions of guideline EU A.14”.

Description of key information
The explosive properties of “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” were determined following EU A.14.
In the test for thermal sensitivity, no explosion was observed.
In the test for mechanical sensitivity (shock), no explosion was observed when using a force of 40 J.
The test for mechanical sensitivity (friction) was not performed due to the liquid nature of the test item.
The test item “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” can be considered as “not explosive under the conditions of guideline EU A.14”.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
The tests performed under GLP and according to the Guidance EU A.14 were negative, indicating that “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” is not explosive.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The tests performed under GLP and according to the Guidance EU A.14 were negative, indicating that the test item is not explosive.
However, “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” is containing ca. 30 - 50% di-isopropyl ether (CAS 108-20-3) which may form explosive peroxides. According to the work experience with “2-propanol and 2-butanol production, distn. residues” and the official classification of DIPE, this substance should be classified with EUH019.
