Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Positive reactions were obtained in two out of 19 animals, but only 24 hours after removal of the dressings. After 48 hours no positive reactions were observed. A sensibilization rate of 10.5% was calculated. Therefore, it can be concluded that DOWANOL* PGDA induces no delayed contact hypersensitivity in the guinea pig.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A GLP study according to OECD guideline 406 (Buehler method) has been conducted with PGDA.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Based on the negative result of the skin sensitization study PGDA is not expected to be a respiratory sensitizer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
No data on respiratory sensitization is available for PGDA.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Only 2 out of 19 animals showed a positive reaction after 24 hours. A sensitization rate of 10.5% was calculated. According to EU criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances as laid down in Annex VI of the EEC Council Directive 671548lEEC (amended by Directive 83/467/EEC) and according to GHS/CLP, PGDA is not classified as a sensitiser.
