Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Menthane, monohydroperoxy derivative
EC Number:
247-987-6
EC Name:
Menthane, monohydroperoxy derivative
Cas Number:
26762-92-5
Molecular formula:
C10H20O2
IUPAC Name:
menthane, monohydroperoxy derivative
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
p-menthane hydroperoxide
IUPAC Name:
p-menthane hydroperoxide
Details on test material:
commercial sample which is a mixture of p-menthane-1-hydroperoxide and p-menthane-8-hydroperoxide

Method

Type of population:
other: patients with known turpentine oil allergy
Ethical approval:
confirmed, but no further information available
Subjects:
11 volunteers 27-64 year
8 males, 3 females
Clinical history:
no data except on turpentine oil allegy
Controls:
controls were not included in the experiment, but were stated to have been included to assess the irritant concentration of 1% test susbtance
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
Subjects were exposed to 0.1% and 0.4% of the test substance in parafin oil. 48 hours after exposure skin reactions were measured.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
0.4% challenge
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 1 (+ 2 marginally reactions)
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 8

0.1% challenge
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 11

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
very weak sensitizer under the conditions of the test
Executive summary:

Eleven subjects with known allegic reaction to turpentene oil were challenged with 0.1% and 0.4% test substance. With 0.4% very slight effects were seen. A challenge with 0.1% did not induce any effects. The test substance is considered a very weak sensitizer under the conditions of the test.
