Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

423-55-2
Molecular formula:
C8BrF17
IUPAC Name:
1-bromoheptadecafluorooctane
Test material form:
liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Physical state/Appearance: Clear colourless liquidStorage condition of test material: Room temperature

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Age of animals at study initiation: AdultWeight at study initiation: 2.0 -3.5 kgAcclimation period: At least 7 days Environmental controls for the animal room was set to maintain a temperature of 70 deg F ±3 deg F, a relative humidity of 50% ±20%, and a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The other eye on the animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male and 3 female
Details on study design:
Each rabbit received 0.1 mL of the test material placed into the everted lower lid of one eye, with the contralateral eye serving as the untreated control. The upper and lower lids were gently held together for one second to prevent loss of material and then released. The eyes of the rabbits remained unflushed.The treated eyes were observed for ocular irritation at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment. At the 72 -hour reading, sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible corneal injury. Irritation was graded and scored according to the Draize technique.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material, Imagent GI (PFOB), produced no ocular irritation when instilled into the eyes of six albino rabbits.
