Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
For testing for sensitivity to impact (Fallhammer-Test) the sample iis enclosed in a shock device which consists of two coaxial steel cylinders, one on the top of the other, and a hollow steel cylinder as aguide ring. This shock device, which must contain 40 mm³ of the sample, is placed on an anvil and subjected to the impact of different drop weights. The impact energy can be varied both by the selection of the drop height and by the selection of the drop weight.
The lowest impact energy just sufficient to cause an explosion is determined.
If an explosion occurs at an impact energy of <= 40 Nm, the substance is explosive acc. EU 67/548/EEC
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test item is not explosive in the Fallhammer-Test
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for sensitivity to impact according to the Fallhammer-Test, using a drop weight of 10 kg and a drop height of 40 cm (= 40 Nm). This test was performed 6 times and no explosion occured.
