Boehnlein-Mauss, Jutta; Kroeber, Hartmut published an article in 2017, the title of the article was The REACH Impact on Gun Propellant Formulations.Safety of Tris(2-ethylhexyl) benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate And the article contains the following content:
REACH is the abbreviation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chems. It is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chems., while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chems. industry. Current gun propellant formulations employ environmentally unfriendly materials, like dibutyl-phthalate (DBP). In this contribution a study was conducted, which aims to evaluate the environmental friendliness of common gun propellant ingredients and to propose environmentally acceptable substitutes for harmful substances. In the first step a simplified assessment matrix based on the REACH relevant properties of chems. was developed. The matrix consists of the main criteria of the new European regulation, their legal limit values, and their evaluation by REACH. For a selected number of ingredients of commonly used gun propellants the toxicol. and eco-toxicol. data were collected in order to carry out an initial assessment under the REACH regulation. In this context some substances show remarkable and critical properties and it was started to find suitable substitutes, which were first assessed with regard to the REACH regulation. As an example potential substitutes for nitroglycerin were exptl. introduced in gun propellant formulations and their main properties were determined and compared with the standard formulation. The experimental process involved the reaction of Tris(2-ethylhexyl) benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate(cas: 3319-31-1).Safety of Tris(2-ethylhexyl) benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate
