EC 234-277-6, zinc bis[bis(dodecylphenyl)]bis(dithiophosphatei, s generically referred to as zinc dialkylthiophosphate (ZDDP). In vitro genotoxicity study is not available for this substance. However, sufficient data are available for a group of substances, which are produced under similar manufacturing procedures and used in commerce as multi-functional anti-wear and anti-oxidation inhibitor performance components in passenger motor oils, diesel engine oils and industrial oils such as hydraulic lubricants. They share great chemical similarity and have been considered as a category (HPV Test Plan).

In vitrobacteria gene mutation assay (AMES) has been conducted for the abovementioned substances, and the frequencies of reverse mutations in bacteria were not significantly changed after exposure to various concentrations of the registered material, with/without S9 mixture. The study is reliable without restriction (Klimitch code 1). However, for the sake of simplicity, only the AMES study on EC 224 -235 -5 is present in the current technical dossier.

CAS#	Result
84605-29-8	Negative
68909-93-3	Negative
4259-15-8	Negative

 

 Based on these results, EC 234-277-6 is expected to be non-mutagenic in bacteria.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without the metabolic activation. The substance was considered to be non-mutagenic under the test conditions.
