Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Mild to severe conjunctival inflammation and some corneal opacity and iritis was observed at 24 hours. One animal was terminated due to the severity of the lesions. The eyes of the other five animals either cleared or had reduced irritation by 72 hours. The mean score was calculated in only 5 animals where results of all time-points were available.
